A secret agent crosses the leaders of the widespread and clandestine criminal organization The Vespers. Few stand a chance in the grips of their wrath. Note: The cover is rather misleading. This story takes place mostly in the daytime. Second note: The Vespers were inspired by characters from the 39 Clues book series. No copyright infringement intended on the name, as I'm going to change it later. Third note: Thanks for reading! And bearing through these notes!
