Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 8 Up—Sixteen-year-old forensic investigator Luke Harding is back in this fifth book in the series, set in the future. This time, someone is trying to sabotage the Youth International Games. The stadium, near London, is in the process of being built, and The Authorities ask Luke to investigate a series of strange accidents at the construction site. First the games' organizer disappears. Then two construction workers plummet to their deaths. Shortly after that, a swimmer is severely injured while testing out the facility's pool. Luke and his trusty sidekick robot, Malc, zero in on several suspects, but as the search for "Spoilsport" intensifies, his own life becomes endangered. This action-packed, quick read will keep readers guessing who Spoilsport is and what his or her motives are. A good read for reluctant readers or for teens interested in forensic science.—Shannon Seglin, Chantilly Regional Library, Fairfax County, VA

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting series for Tween-agers that is (, July 16 2007

By Mother of 4 in Florida - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Final Lap (Paperback)

There are SO many novels for kids about sorcerers, witches, vampires and the like that books based around magic must be like a no-brainer fall back position for publishers. But there's hope! Try this Traces series of novels. My [...] son read them all in quick order and talked his [...] sister into trying them and she loves these books.

The stories take place in an alternate reality - same timeline as ours but a world where cats and dogs are endangered, technology is far more advanced and the police have robot partners.

The heroes are a crime solving team: a [...] forensic investigator and his robot sidekick.

My son says he likes the books because of the plot twists and humor throughout.

Thank you, Mr. Rose, for actually being inventive and writing these captivating books that aren't sorcery driven.
