When he and his pet rat, Lucky, make news headlines, it is the start of a wild adventure – the kind of adventure that Timo has only read about in books. Why is a world-famous billionaire suddenly after him? And what breathtaking secret is she hiding on her private island?

Iain Rennie was born and raised in Johannesburg and can be spotted out and about in the wild suburban jungles of Edenvale, where he currently resides. After a brief stint studying graphic design, Iain moved his studies to video production, being awarded his Bachelor of the Arts in Audiovisual Communication. Iain’s illustration style combines detailed linework with cartoon and dark humour, and is influenced by the works of old masters such as Albrecht Dürer, Franklin Booth, as well as more contemporary artists like Jamie Hewlett, Tim Burton and the works of Laika Studios. When he is not behind a computer or drawing board, Iain likes to punish his knees by running marathons and has completed the Comrades Ultra-Marathon three times. He is also a dog lover and owner, and is an above-average dog-walker.
