Overview:
Dive into the Isaac Turner Investigates series with this complete three-book collection from Sam Sedgman. Spanning sun-drenched Italian streets to Parisian rooftops and iconic London landmarks, these pages harness the heady mix of puzzle-solving, globe-trotting, and fast-paced adventure that young readers crave.

The Forbidden Atlas whisks readers to Paris, where a mysterious map and a city full of secrets spur a chase across grand boulevards and hidden corners.

The Galileo Heist
In this third adventure of Isaac Turner Investigates, Isaac’s summer in Italy with his grandfather takes an unexpected turn when Ferdinand is accused of a multi-million-euro jewellery theft. A solar eclipse provides the backdrop for a daring chase, and Isaac and his friend Hattie must navigate deception, danger, and dazzling Italian streets to uncover the truth.
