Ruby Redfort #6: Blink and You Die

It’s all over for Ruby. Or is it? In this kickass finale, she’s on everyone’s wrong side. Folks want her dead. She’s on the run. Is it time to kiss life goodbye? Hey – get real, buster. Giving up isn’t even in Ruby’s lexicon! Ruby’s always been the cool one: the girl you can count on when the ice starts to crack. But now the ice really has cracked, and she’s plunging through into deadly cold water. Someone from Spectrum wants to kill her. They know her every move. Nowhere to run, no one to hide, nobody to trust. There’s only one thing Ruby can count on: the Count. Yup: Mr Evil is still at large – the one (totally murderous) person she can always depend on…
