From “Alex Rider: Crocodile Tears” By Anthony Horowitz Chapter One: “Reflections in a Mirror” Alex Rider took one last glance in the mirror, then stopped and looked a second time. It was 20 strange, but he wondered if he recognized the boy who was looking back. There were the thin lips, the slightly chiselled nose and chin, the fair hair hanging in two strands over the dark brown eyes. He raised a hand and, obediently, his reflection did the same. But there was something different about this other Alex Rider. It just wasn’t quite him. Of course, the clothes he was wearing didn’t help. In a few minutes he would be leaving 25 for a New Year’s Eve party being held at a castle on the banks of Loch Arkaig in the Highlands of Scotland – and the invitation had been clear. Dress: black tie. Reluctantly Alex had gone out and rented the entire outfit: dinner jacket, black trousers and a white shirt with a stick•up collar that was too tight and dug into his neck. The one thing he had refused to put on was the pair of polished leather shoes that the shop assistant had insisted would 30 make the outfit complete.
