In this fourth installment in the New York Times bestselling series from Edgar Award winner James Ponti, the young group of spies go codebreaking in Cairo in another international adventure perfect for fans of Spy School and Mrs. Smith's Spy School for Girls. Codename Kathmandu, better known as Kat, loves logic and order, has a favorite eight-digit number, and can spot a pattern from a mile away. So when a series of cyberattacks hits key locations in London while the spies are testing security for the British Museum, it's clear that Kat's skill for finding reason in what seems like randomness makes her the perfect candidate to lead the job. And while the team follows the deciphered messages to Egypt and the ancient City of the Dead to discover who is behind the attacks and why, Kat soon realizes that there's another layer to the mystery. With more players, more clues, and involving higher levels of British Intelligence than ever before, this mission is one of the most complex that the group has faced to date. And it's also going to bring about a change to the City Spies.

As this book opens, the team has been tasked with breaking into the British Museum and retrieving a couple of items from their exhibit on Egypt. These are sensitive items that the government doesn't want to officially ask for back and doesn't want to admit they even have. But the mission is not all it appears to be. What will happen when the team learns the truth?Yes, I'm being vague in my teaser, but this is definitely a case where the fun comes in seeing how the plot evolves, so I'm giving as few spoilers as I can.

The cliffhanger is going to make the wait for the next book even harder. Fans young and old will be delighted with this book.

Another fun adventure with the city spies! Especially fun with the new addition to the team, who may or may not have his own agenda. I enjoyed exploring Egypt with the spies and learning more about the City of the Dead and antiquities. Can't wait to see what happens next.
