MI6 agent Bishop is methodical, razor-sharp, and plays by the rules. But when a mission in Hong Kong spirals out of control, her dangerously seductive new partner becomes the prime suspect.

When a kid is dragged to Central Park in New York on a Saturday (when he could be at home watching the ball game), the last thing he wants is a history lesson from his mom.

It turns out that an enslaved boy and hundreds of other people spent more than six hundred days carving the Needle out of stone and pulling it upright. And another kid’s drawings were used to create the hieroglyphs on its sides.
