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, or Kat for short, is a big fan of logic and order. She has a special eight-digit number that she loves, and she can easily recognize patterns even from a distance. So, when a series of cyberattacks targets important locations in London while the spies are testing security for the British Museum, it becomes clear that Kat's talent for finding order in chaos makes her the perfect choice to lead the mission.
