Gabrielle Lord, 2010
*Spoiler warning* - This is a series best read in order as each book will spoil the previous ones . . .
Cal has managed to escape from a high speed chase and crash, turning the care of Lachlan over to an unsuspecting police officer. But there's no way he's going to make it to his great-uncle's place. Instead he needs to head back into the city to stop his mother from turning off Gabbi's life support. Cal keeps escaping from both the crims and the police, and we have the welcome return of Repro. There's also a couple of new possible allies in Griff the runaway and Melba, the old lady.
This book brings the first third of the series to an end with a particularly neat twist - Cal is landed in an asylum with his identity removed. Some interesting relations occur between Cal and his family here, along with the reveal of the Ormond Riddle. I did feel, however, that this book was a bit of a place filler as we waited for the action to heat up again.
Want to connect with other books with riddles - you can't go past Gregor the Overlander and the other books in that series or The 4 Powers of Daren Saner.
