Twelve-year-old heavyset hero Hale (The Doublecross) and his motley team of fellow spies are determined to destroy the criminal Sub Rosa Society and find Hale's still-missing parents. To do that, they decide to strike at SRS's finances, hidden in a moving Swiss bank account. This sequel is packed with goodhearted fun and zany action, its protagonist full of heart and spirit.
