Years have passed since her childhood
friend disappeared, but Roni remains consumed by the mystery. Can she uncover
what happened to Maxim Santiago?
Podcast fame thrusts 17-year-old Roni into a perilous quest to find her missing
friend, who disappeared from Dulles Airport, Washington D.C. She teams up with
tech-savvy Kenzie to crack cryptic messages and unearth a dark secret about
trafficked kids. Dodging shadowy agents of the ruthless Russian dictator waging
a global ‘Mind Game’ on his enemies, they end up in a sweltering Mexican town,
a nexus for refugees.
They shared childhood memories, but Maxim has changed. He’s older, wiser,
perhaps even dangerous. Now he seeks their help to rescue enslaved children
guarding a world-shaking secret, but time’s running out. Roni and Kenzie dive
into Maxim’s risky mission, testing their friendship amid a struggle for
control of a key project that could win the ‘Mind Game.’
It's a journey that brings Roni an astonishing self-discovery. Can she trust
in herself to help the rescue succeed?
From “sci-fi author M.G. Harris, creator of the best-selling Joshua Files” (Radio
Times Magazine, 5th September 2013) comes an espionage mystery thriller for
teens and young adults, set in a world of geopolitical conflicts that sits
rather closely to our own post-pandemic world.

Book Trailer:
An Excerpt from ‘The Mind Game’
Running the hot water, I washed my
hands with mandarin-scented liquid soap. As steam rose, it misted over the
mirror. I examined the duct work, admiring the aesthetic. This was my kind of
place, I decided. Urban chic. I patted my hands on a towel and squirted some of
the chamomile-scented lotion provided over my fingers, rubbing it in gently. My
skin was so dry.
Perhaps I daydreamed for a moment,
maybe realized I was hungry and thought about where we might go for snack
nearby. Anyhow, for whatever reason I lost track of time. It couldn’t have been
for more than a minute or two. Next thing I knew, someone was hammering on the
restroom door.
I walked over and unlocked the
door. Kenzie was there along with Boujee. Both wore troubled expressions.
She said, “You all right?”
I shrugged. “Yeah, why?”
Boujee flashed me a supercilious
smile and stretched out her palm. “Key.” But she didn’t need to use the room.
She just stomped away, back to the front desk.
“Sure you’re okay?” asked Kenzie.
“You can tell me, she’s gone.”
“I’m fine.”
He shook his head. “If you say
so.” He seemed reluctant to say more. He paced over to the sink and wet his
fingers, wiping his face. “Let’s go. Wait.” He pointed to the mirror-stone.
“What’s this?”
“Yeah, not much of a mirror, is
it?”
“I meant the writing.”
At first I thought I’d misheard
him. “Did you say ‘writing?’”
He gave me this quirky smile, like
he thought we were playing. “Yeah. ‘Find unicorns.’ Why’d you write that?”
“Me? I didn’t write anything.”
He continued to point directly at
the stone slab. “And yet.”
Completely baffled, I closed in
for a better look. Then I saw it. The words took a few seconds to register a
meaning. An inscription in the fine condensation was fading rapidly but still
legible. Traced, very obviously, by finger.
FIND UNICORNS.
My fingertips and nose felt
suddenly cold, as if they’d caught a sharp breeze. I swallowed, grasping for a
memory that wasn’t there.
I repeated, “I didn’t write
anything.”
Kenzie’s eyes twinkled. “Then who?
Casper the ghost?”
I grabbed his arm, not gently.
“I’m being serious, Kenzie. I did not write those words.”
He flinched, as if I’d flicked his
face. Anger flashed across his face for just a second.
He thinks I’m lying, playing a dumb game.
About M.G. Harris:
M.G. Harris was born in Mexico City and raised in Manchester,
England. She studied Biochemistry at St Catherine's College Oxford and stuck
around for even more at St Cross College.
To this day she lives in Oxford. It's not an easy place to leave.
The first job M.G. Harris was ever aware of wanting to do, aged six, was to
write children’s books. Then, aged eight and inspired by Doctor Who, she tried
to make Wirrn slime with a friend’s Chemistry Set 4, discovered chemistry, and
writing went out of the window.
But in 2004, a skiing accident changed everything...
