Authors and the London Eye? Siobhan Dowd served since 2004 as deputy commissioner for children's rights in Oxfordshire, working with local authorities to ensure that statutory services affecting children conformed to UN protocols.

She published The London Eye Mystery in June 2007 and died two months later of severe breast cancer. Two books were published posthumously and a trust was established in her name.

The London Eye Mystery is about a kid with autism who works to solve the case about how a child went missing on the London Eye. It won the NASEN/TES Special Educational Needs Children's Book Award among others.

"A stranger approaches them with a ticket for the Eye, saying he's afraid of small spaces and cannot ride the Eye. They decide to give the ticket to Salim, as he has never been on the Eye before. Salim waves towards his cousins as he boards. Half an hour later, when Salim's capsule lands, Kat and Ted discover that Salim is nowhere to be found."

"When they arrive home, Ted and Kat examine the newly developed photographs and find only one clue: that the stranger who gave them the ticket is in the background of one of the photographs, in a T-shirt with the letters "ONTLI ECUR" on it. They soon decipher that some of the letters are missing, and the writing actually says 'FRONTLINE SECURITY', a security company which is currently working at a local motorbike exhibition. Kat goes to the exhibition, and Ted soon works out where she has gone and follows her. They soon find the stranger who sold them the ticket, but he simply avoids their questions, denying any connection with Salim's disappearance."

The WH was lit up blue for autism awareness day. The London Eye was lit up blue in Q's photographs. This book is about an autistic youth using obscure clues to find a missing child. Coincidence? I haven't read the book.
