    InvestiGators fans, rejoice and get ready to dive into the third volume of Agents of S.U.I.T.! With more than three million copies of InvestiGators in print, readers are primed for more GatorVerse action!

    The first two volumes of AGENTS OF S.U.I.T. turned the spotlight to eager rookie agent Cilantro and the un-B-lievably B-loved B-Team of Bongo and Marsha. Now, in the globetrotting third book, new recruit Zeb the sheep joins the flock to help crack the greatest mystery of all! But, uhh...just what is the greatest mystery of all?

    Pondering that conundrum is what has kept the dearly departed General Inspectre tethered to Earth long after he should have moved on to the great super-spy base in the sky. Having a ghost haunting the halls of S.U.I.T. wouldn't be so bad...except he's possessed Monocle to serve as his Earthly form! Zeb--along with Cilantro, Bongo, Marsha, and cameos from everyone's favorite Gators--must decipher the series' biggest mystery EVER to free their pal and finish the Inspectre's unfinished business!

      Twelve. . . going on eighty?

      Dexter is twelve years old and lives at The Pines Retirement Village with his grandmother. He’s been home-schooled by the residents since he was six — until the day the truant officer shows up and announces that Dex has to go to the local public school.

      Dex does not fit in at middle school. He gets along better with senior citizens than he does kids his own age. He dresses like a grandpa and his taste in movies and music is decades out of date. Only a few students — like Gianna Greco, a reporter at the school’s newspaper looking for a bit story — want to talk to him. For most, he is a weirdo . . . or a target.

      Dexter would do anything to get out of middle school and go back to his old life at The Pines. But when his wish finally seems to be coming true, his old and new worlds collide in a way that surprises everyone — and Dexter most of all.
