The Ghost Roads (Ring of Five)

The nefarious leader of the Ring of Five, Ambrose Longford, is still determined to control both the Upper World and Lower World. But Danny and his friends at Wilson's school for spies stand in his way. As Danny struggles with his role in the spy world, Longford is attempting to bring down the other members of the Ring, to usurp all of its power. Or is he?

In this exhilarating conclusion to the Ring of Five trilogy, Eoin McNamee's twists and turns will leave readers wondering who they can believe when dealing with a world of spies.

Everyone Danny Caulfield is close to is in danger. The man Danny thought was his father has been shot. The woman he thought was his mother has been taken hostage. The school for spies he calls home and the classmates he calls friends are vulnerable to attack. And the Upper and Lower Worlds have been driven to the brink of war by the devious hand of Ambrose Longford, the leader of the group of master spies known as the Ring of Five. To save those he loves, Danny must confront the most destructive forces in two worlds--and in himself.
