The Gladiator Thief (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798273824195)

By Jeffrey Stoy
A Mill Bay Detective Agency Novel

When teen detective Jack Sawyer lands a spot at the elite Gladiator Academy, he thinks it's just another summer adventure, part Hollywood training camp, part dream vacation. Alongside his best friend Anthony Santos, he's set to learn stunt combat for the hit movie Gladiator Uprising. But when a string of daring robberies rocks the studio, the cameras stop rolling, and Jack's instincts kick in.

Someone is pulling off high-tech heists using gladiator armor, stunt choreography, and insider access and the clues point disturbingly close to the cast and crew.

Working with sharp-minded production assistant Mia Calderon, Jack uncovers a tangled web of deception. As danger closes in, the investigation takes Jack from the sunlit set to late-night stakeouts and a deadly confrontation in front of a live audience.

To solve the case, Jack will have to out think Hollywood's greatest illusionists, and risk everything to expose a thief who's been hiding in plain sight.
