In the ninth installment of the New York Times bestselling Spy School series, Ben Ripley faces his nemesis, Murray Hill, on the high seas.
Thanks to evidence Ben uncovered in his investigation of the Croatoan, the CIA has tracked Murray Hill to Central America, where they believe he is boarding the world’s biggest cruise ship, The Emperor of the Seas, on its maiden voyage around the world.
He poses as part of a family — with Alexander and Catherine Hale as his parents, Erica as his sister, and his best friend Mike as his brother — to find out what Murray is plotting.
At first it sounds exciting to have a mission on the most glamorous ocean liner on earth, but, as usual, nothing goes according to plan. There is action, danger, and plenty of surprises as Ben and his team quickly find themselves in hot water.
