WARP: The Reluctant Assassin by Eoin Colfer

If you are going to be traveling to London, or happen to live there, this young adult book might be just right for you.  The story takes place in both the London of 1898 and present day London.  Riley is an orphan who is apprentice to the illusionist, robber, and  murderer Albert Garrick in Victorian London. During a time when Garrick is forcing Riley to preform his first murder, Riley s saved by being transported via a wormhole to modern-day London.  It turns out the murder victim was a scientist from the future and part of the FBI's Witness Anonymous Relocation Program (WARP), a way to protect witnesses of violent crimes in the past until they can testify in the present in court.  Riley meets Cheron Savano, a 17-year-old Native American FBI agent who helps him escape Garrick by going back to the past, again through a wormhole.  This book is one of a series and the ending set up the story for the next book.
