Danger Zone Series

In the third novel by David Gilman starring Max Gordon, death has come to Dartmoor High. A student at Max’s boarding school is found bloodied and lifeless in the London Underground. The dead boy was carrying an envelope with Max’s name on it . . . an envelope that contains a mysterious clue about Max’s mother’s death.

Max has to find out the truth. His search takes him from the desolate hills of England to the endangered rain forest of Central America, where drug smugglers, deadly crocodiles, man-eating snakes, and flesh-stripping piranhas wait at every turn. But Max can’t—won’t—quit now. The answer Max Gordon is willing to die for lies deep within the heart of the dangerous forest. Will he stay alive long enough to reach it?

Cold-blooded killers. Deadly creatures in the night. Bone-crunching fear. For Max Gordon, there’s no such thing as normal anymore.

Max Gordon: Wanted for Murder

Max is desperate to find a solution, but instead he’s accused of causing the monk’s death, and the hunt is on to find him. How can Max prove his innocence when nobody will trust him . . . and he can trust no one?
