Laura Porter has it all: a house in Malibu, a totally hot boyfriend, and a stable job. But not everything is as perfect as it seems. Her boyfriend is cheating on her, her best friend won't talk to her, and her "stable" job consists of working for the CIA. As much as Laura likes to pretend she is normal, she knows she is anything but. Despite a promise that she would be given six months off, Laura finds herself shipped to England and enrolled in a prestigious boarding school where students have been showing up dead and a secret campus society is believed to be behind it. Like in Paris, Laura has to catch a murderer, though this time things are a little different, like the arrival of her new quirky partner, Zach's attitude adjustment, and Fred's sudden eagerness to return to the field. For the first time Laura, Fred, and a new cast of characters have to work together to infiltrate the secret society on campus and catch the murderer before time runs out and the doors of the school close forever. **This is the sequel to The Model Spy.
