Snakehead by Anthony Horowitz takes readers on a high-octane journey where danger lurks at every corner. This seventh instalment in the best-selling Alex Rider series finds our teenage spy embroiled in another perilous adventure.

After the explosive events in Ark Angel, Alex Rider is thrust into the clutches of ASIS, the Australian Secret Intelligence Service. His mission: to infiltrate a deadly criminal organization known as Snakehead. Operating in the shadows of South East Asia, Snakehead is a ruthless syndicate involved in human trafficking, drug smuggling, and much more sinister activities.

To mean with the seedy underbelly of this world, Alex must navigate unfamiliar territory and make critical alliances. With the guidance of his godfather, Ash, himself a legendary operative, Alex steps into a murky world where one wrong move can mean certain death. His quest takes him from the bustling streets of Bangkok to the treacherous waters of the Pacific, testing his limits and pushing his spy skills to the ultimate test. As layers of deceit and betrayal unfold, Alex confronts a conspiracy that could destabilise global security.

Written with Anthony Horowitz's signature flair for suspense and detail, Snakehead offers an exhilarating blend of action, espionage, and edge-of-your-seat thrills. Fans of the series will relish the intricate plot, gripping narrative, and the deeper insight into Alex Rider's character and past.
