Daisy and Hazel leap into action when a murder is committed on their cruise along the River Nile in Egypt.

Primavera 1941. La Gran Bretagna è in guerra e il Ministero delle attività per signorine - il braccio segreto del governo che arruola ragazzini come spie - invia May, Eric e Nuala a Londra, per completare l''addestramento. Le nuove reclute alloggiano in un appartamento che si affaccia su un cortile nascosto, popolato da tante altre persone apparentemente tranquille: pittori, bambini, volontari civili, altre spie del Ministero. Mentre i tre esplorano una casa bombardata all''inizio della strada, scoprono qualcosa che non dovrebbe trovarsi lì: un cadavere... Come mai quando gli operatori dell''ambulanza hanno setacciato il seminterrato alla ricerca di sopravvissuti non l''hanno trovato? Forse qualcuno l''ha portato lì di recente? Per risolvere il mistero, i tre smettono i panni delle spie e vestono quelli di coraggiosi detective, ma ben presto la loro indagine si intreccia con i segreti custoditi dal Ministero e dagli altri abitanti del cortile: forse il cadavere ha a che fare con l''agente scomparso che l''eroica Daisy Wells sta cercando in Francia, in una missione pericolosa? Un nuovo avvincente e imperdibile mistero della serie "Top Secret", scritto dalla pluripremiata autrice di "Miss Detective".
