What is Skeleton key about?
Alex Rider is sent undercover to Wimbledon for what should be a simple reconnaissance mission. Instead, he becomes the target of a Chinese Triad gang and is forced to flee to Skeleton Key, a remote island near Cuba. There, Alex uncovers a deadly conspiracy involving suspicious deaths, nuclear weapons and the ruthless Russian General Sarov. Cut off from help and armed only with his ingenuity and a few ingenious gadgets, Alex must stop Sarov’s terrifying plan before it threatens the whole world.
