Teen superspy Alex Rider is sent to investigate mysterious deaths linked to a prestigious prep school. As he mingles with the elite's offspring, he discovers a chilling transformation among the students. Once rebellious, they are now eerily identical and obedient.

From the publisher

Alex Rider is now an IMDb TV/Amazon Original Series! Alex Rider is an orphan turned teen superspy who’s saving the world one mission at a time–from #1 New York Times bestselling author! When an investigation into a series of mysterious deaths leads agents to an elite prep school for rebellious kids, MI6 assigns Alex Rider to the case. Before he knows it, Alex is hanging out with the sons of the rich and powerful, and something feels wrong. These former juvenile delinquents have turned well-behaved, studious–and identical–overnight. It’s up to Alex to find out who is masterminding this nefarious plot, before they find him. From the author of Magpie Murders and Moriarty.
