Mild; the psychological unease of Point Blanc's central mystery
What this book is about
The second Alex Rider novel sends the teenage spy to Point Blanc — an elite school for troubled billionaire heirs in the French Alps — where something is wrong with the students in a way that Alex can't quite define. Horowitz's plotting is impeccable, and Point Blanc is widely considered the best Alex Rider novel for its genuinely unsettling central mystery.
