This is the third in a series of books about Kit Stixby and his friend, Prince Henry, which began with "A handful of Magic" and continued with "A Land Without Magic".

The kidnapping of the visiting American president plunges Kit and Henry into another wild adventure.

They have a race against time to rescue the president, and as if that weren't enough, there's a killer on the loose in London, vampires prowling everywhere, and a mysterious plant is coming to life...All three books in this series have been extremely well received with "A Handful of Magic" being picked as the Guardian's book of the month.
