Mastermind for Murder

From USA Today bestselling author Leslie Langtry comes a laugh-out-loud story of spies, spoofs, and sleepers cells in middle America!

When one of the girls in ex-CIA spy turned Girl Scout leader, Merry Wrath Ferguson's, scout troop insists that there's a sleeper cell in Who's There, Iowa, Merry laughs it off. After all, she was an actual spy! What would a middle school kid know about things like that? Of course, the fact that it's Betty, the most dangerous thirteen year old on the planet, does give Merry a little pause. But seriously, in a town of about five thousand people, a group of foreign terrorists would stand out…right?

Or so she thinks, until the CIA quietly asks Merry and her former handler Riley to look into it. It doesn't help that inept-beyond-all-belief FBI agents Summer and Winter (yes, their real names) are also looking into it, or that Merry's buddy, CIA assassin Hilly, plays hooky from an assignment to help out—by sending the hapless Abed (CIA flunkie and Girl Scout cookie junkie) to float the flounder in her place. Still, Merry thinks this is nothing more than a wild goose chase until a mysterious, elderly woman is murdered. Now, Merry has second thoughts and finds herself in a race to unravel the woman's past and find the sleeper cell, before she becomes the next target.
