In Cairo, Undercover Girl Starr Flagg must protect Sir Archibald Sexton, an eminent Egyptologist carrying secrets vital to keeping peace in the Middle East, as he travels to a crucial meeting at the Pyramids—but a fanatical sect determined to sow discord has other plans. When Starr realizes the man she's been guarding is an impostor, she must uncover the conspiracy, locate the real Sir Archibald, and stop the zealots' scheme before it destabilizes the region. With danger closing in from every direction, her wits and combat skills are all that stand between peace and catastrophe.
Inspector Ronald Kirk investigates an impossible crime at the London Museum: Montezuma's jeweled crown has vanished, its guard Benny Day lies dead from a poisoned dart, and no one could have entered or escaped the sealed room. Kirk's hunt for the thief leads him to explorer John Larrikan, who harbors a sinister secret discovered in the jungle—a serum that shrinks the human body to mere inches. When Kirk uncovers Larrikan's scheme and confrontation erupts, the truth behind "the little man who wasn't there" is finally revealed.
When a young salesgirl named Betty Laurel is approached with a scheme to impersonate a wealthy woman, she jumps at the chance to secure the easy money she's always wanted—but Jim Fallon of the F.B.I. begins to suspect something is wrong when the real Glory Morgan fails to show up as planned. As Betty trains to become Glory and the criminals prepare to collect their prize, Fallon closes in on the cabin hideout, racing against time to save the hostage before the impostor's deception can pay off.
The Duke—Paul Roberts, master of mayhem—uncovers a corrupt ledger that exposes a docking-fee racket at the Rock Company, and broadcasts the evidence on his television show to expose the scheme. When the crooks behind the scam, led by Fang Hackett, learn what he's done, they come after him hard, forcing The Duke into a desperate fight on the bridge with backup from his ally Tug Higgins. It's a wild clash of fists, guns, and wits as The Duke uses everything at his disposal—including the bridge itself—to outmaneuver the thugs and bring them to justice.
