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.—
