Cadel (Evil Genius, The Genius Squad) is just settling into normal teenage life when sociopath Prosper English returns; "accidents" soon put Cadel's friends in the hospital. Cadel's frustration over not being taken seriously, and his worries that his former mentor's stamp may be indelible, will command readers' attention until Jinks's final plot twists wind to a close.
