Novel - A Snake in the Dark

An adventure novel for teenagers.

And for all readers who love exciting stories. It's about murder and manslaughter, betrayal and love and the power of friendship. The story of an outsider in a world that only gives him rejection and contempt.

And here's the blurb.

At the beginning young Jaco thinks of nothing wrong. When a clairvoyant predicts deadly dangers to him, he suspects a setup. But then he encounters a woman locked up in a cage and scared to death at the sight of him.

But when someone breaks into his house and he escapes a serious injury just by luck, he becomes suspicious. What is going on behind this? Is it connected to his dead parents? His mother's old diary triggers a chain of events. But then a murder happens.

But there is also Serafina, the beautiful and prickly daughter of the ringmaster, to whom Jaco soon feels attracted.

As he sinks deeper and deeper into the vortex of an enigmatic past, his best friend is busy with a new invention. But will he be able to prove to the world that man can fly? And will he be on time when the life of Jaco is in danger?
