In the eighth book of the New York Times best-selling Spy School series, Ben faces a new diabolical organization, the only evidence of which dates back to the time of the American Revolution.

With SPYDER defeated, Ben looks forward to his life becoming normal again, as much as it can be when you are a trainee super-spy… until someone bombs the adjacent CIA conference room.

To Ben's surprise, the culprit is none other than Erica Hale, the trainee spy he respects more than anyone else. His mission: to prove that Erica is not a double agent working against the U.S., to locate the mythical group of colonial-era rebels that is blackmailing her, to understand their insidious plan, and to thwart it.

But this time, Ben is faced with enemies he has never encountered before: his own friends. How will he manage when he doesn't even know whom he can trust?
