A field on a local farm becomes the site of illegal fly-tipping and toxic waste disposal. Two cows are poisoned before the farmer, a friend of Wolfie’s mum, is alerted to the problem by the Misfits, who are first on the scene. The local police seem to be getting nowhere so the Misfits decide to investigate. What they don’t know is that the mastermind behind the illegal toxic waste disposal is the same man who ran the dogfighting operation in their previous adventure, and he escaped capture. He’s still looking for revenge. Are they walking into a trap? Join the group of eight close teenage friends as they fight their way toward the truth, six months after they first got together. Kerry experiences real trauma and Rowan feels betrayed. Can the Misfits survive the tensions?
This is such an interesting group of characters. The mystery and investigations are fine, but it’s their diverse backgrounds and interactions within the group that make the books.
