Cammie Morgan thought spy school at Gallagher Academy would prepare her for future missions. She never expected real danger to find her during junior year. Two months ago, an ancient terrorist organization tried to kidnap her. Now threats follow her everywhere, and even her chameleon skills cannot keep her hidden. A frightening encounter in London shatters everything she believed. One of her most trusted allies reveals himself as a rogue double agent. Cammie can no longer trust her classmates or teachers. She questions her own judgment about everyone around her. The Gallagher Girls must use every skill they have learned. They hack into systems, steal information, and lie to enemies as they search for answers. The truth about Cammie's present danger may be buried somewhere in her past. She must uncover these secrets before the terrorists strike again.
