A terrifying, thrilling and hilarious adventure for the Thirteenth Doctor, by children's books superstar David Solomons.
"David Solomons's zany, inimitable wit makes for a series of capers that are thrilling and satisfying." - The Guardian on The Secret in Vault 13
An ancient artifact buried deep within the TARDIS leads the Doctor back to London, where a deadly predator prowls the tunnels beneath the city. As the Time Lord and her friends investigate, they uncover a mystery that will take them from a secret mountain base to the depths of the ocean - and if they cannot solve it, one of them will perish.
In order to save her friend, the Doctor must solve the riddle of ... The Maze of Doom!
