The Black Circle (The 39 Clues Series #5) by Patrick Carman is set in Russia. Amy and Dan are receiving notes (from an anonymous person with the initials NRR) that lead them all over Russia in search of the next clue. They aren't sure they can trust this stranger, but they don't have another choice. Amy and Dan know if they're going to follow the directions on the notes exactly, they'll need to team up. They recruit the help of Hamilton Holt, one of their cousins, who's family is also on the hunt for the 39 clues leading to fame and fortune. Despite their fears that they're being lead straight into a Lucian trap, Amy and Dan pursue the next clue from Moscow to St. Petersburg to the youngest Romanov's playroom! Of course, Irina Spasky, the former KGB agent and cousin to the Cahills is on their heels the entire time, trying to stop them from finding what they seek.Another great mystery and adventure book! I read it in about 4 hours - I couldn't put it down. There was a lot of history about Russia, including the Romanov family and their relationship with Rasputin, that I found very interesting. I think the next book I read will be about Russian Royalty!
