Standing 135 metres tall on the south bank of the River Thames and looking like a gigantic bicycle wheel with thirty-two pods attached to the rim, the London Eye is a magnificent structure.

Riding the Eye is breath-taking. You climb into one of the glass pods and rise over the London skyline. What goes up must come down, so half an hour later you climb back out.

But what if someone got into a pod and didn't come out again? Could someone vanish over the rooftops of London in full view of a whole group of people? This is the intriguing idea at the centre of Siobhan Dowd's The London Eye Mystery.
