In this fascinating parallel world, quick-thinking Luke Harding and his robot sidekick, Malc, make a top forensic team. Luke and Malc have the talent to crack any crime - and a good joke too..

But someone's out to sabotage the development by any means possible. When the manager vanishes, The Authorities call in Luke Harding and Malc to investigate a whole series of suspicious accidents. With help from his girlfriend, Jade, Luke closes in on the killer, codenamed Spoilsport. But will Luke overtake Spoilsport on the final lap?
