Sure Fire (Chance #1)

Sure Fire by Jack Higgins and Justin Richards is the first book in their series featuring Jade and Rich Chance.

Jade and Rich grew up with their mother. When she is killed in a car accident, their father comes to get them - the father they have never met. John Chance never knew he had children and now, 15 years later, he is their only living relative. Though he is excited to find his kids, he is in the middle of a dangerous assignment.

When the twins see their father beaten and forced into a van, they know they must do something to help him. They don't know who they can trust - the police, the people who say they are from the intelligence branch, or the helpful woman who is trying just a bit too hard to gain their confidence.

Soon Rich and Jade are fighting bad guys and attacking secure compounds in the former USSR.

This series will appeal to readers who enjoyed other teen spy series such as Alex Rider, CHERUB, and Boy Soldier.
