Race to Find the Target
Since the City Spies have relocated from Scotland to London, it means they can get some special training from those higher up in MI-6. The first such session involves looking at a coded message the agency has recently gotten. The City Spies quickly realize that the agents who had looked for it missed one thing - the targets are in Paris. But which of the potential targets is the real one? Can the team figure it out in time?

This is another excellent book in the series. While I didn’t feel there was a spotlighted character, each did get a moment to shine and grow, and the team shone as a whole. The plot slowed down a time or two early on, but it was never for long. Instead, I got caught up in the action multiple times. And the humor continued to make me smile and laugh. I also appreciated that the code brought in Renaissance painters and Shakespeare without really slowing things down. This is another book that all ages will enjoy.
  
I'm not exactly sure how shocking it is that Nazis fled to the US to escape Europe after WW2. It's more disgusting to me. One of the Nazis named in this book is still trying to file lawsuits to get himself removed.
Basically, this is about Nazis hiding in plain sight, and how they managed to get out of Europe, whether it be with help from the point, or by the US government itself by taking some of them on as spies.
