The story of Christopher, the boy whose mission to solve a dog-murder mystery leads him to uncover some shocking hidden truths. Christopher is 15 and lives in Swindon, England with his father. He has Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism.
This is Christopher's murder mystery story. There are also no lies in this story because Christopher can't tell lies. Christopher does not like strangers or the colours yellow or brown or being touched. On the other hand, he knows all the countries in the world and their capital cities and every prime number up to 7507. When Christopher decides to find out who killed the neighbour's dog, his mystery story becomes more complicated than he could have ever predicted.
This is a highly entertaining novel but it is also one of the most insightful and empathetic books about autism you will ever read. A brilliantly inventive and superbly realised autistic view of the world.
