The latest riveting installment of an action-packed spy adventure
series has a striking new look!
CHERUB agents are highly trained, extremely talented--and all under the
age of seventeen. For official purposes, these agents do not exist. They
are sent out on missions to spy on terrorists, hack into crucial
documents, and gather intel on global threats--all without gadgets or
weapons. It is a highly dangerous job, but these agents have one crucial
advantage: Adults never suspect that teens are spying on them.
In The Killing, James is assigned to what looks like a routine
mission. Leon is a small-time crook with big money. James's job is to
make nice with Leon's kids, dig up some leads, and infiltrate his home.
But when James suddenly unravels a much larger plot, the mission becomes
anything but ordinary. Unfortunately, the only person who might know the
truth is a reclusive eighteen-year-old boy--who happens to have died
more than a year ago.
