Books with author Erik Wilson

Amateur sleuth Tom Austen can’t believe his luck when his dad, an officer on the Winnipeg police force, is placed in charge of local security for Johnny Lombardo, Hollywood’s biggest child star. Not only does Tom get to meet the 13-year-old actor, he also gets hired as the star’s stand-in on the set of Kid Gangster, Johnny’s movie being shot in Winnipeg. But while Johnny’s a great kid, it’s clear to Tom’s detective mind that some members of his entourage are involved in shady dealings. Tom’s instinct proves correct when Johnny is kidnapped and held for $10 million ransom. Now Tom’s off to Hollywood—except his brush with acting turns very real when he finds himself in a life-or-death struggle to rescue his new friend.

To find the bomber who hit West Edmonton Mall, Tom and Liz Austen must find their way through Galaxyland, 22 waterslides, submarines, 828 stores and a mystery that leads them straight into danger. To write Code Red At The Supermall, Eric Wilson spent endless hours talking to mall goers and sampling everything but the triple-loop Mindbender rollercoaster. Wilson’s Liz and Tom Austen mysteries are in constant demand among young people who have found Canada’s answer to the Hardy Boys.
