Just finished a very unusual and worthwhile thriller: "Finding Davey" by Jonathan Gash (best known as the author of the "Lovejoy" series). When a young British boy is abducted while on holiday with his parents in the US, and the police get nowhere in tracking down his abductors, his grandfather decides to try to find him using a very unusual method. Davey used to invent stories about a fantasy world with his grandfather, and so his grandfather sets out to publish these stories as children's books, and then set a competition in which only Davey will know the correct answers.
Excellent, but I should warn that one of the characters in the books is an astoundingly foul-mouthed teenage girl, so don't read this if bad language is likely to cause offence.
Very highly recommended.
