Life will never be the same for book-loving twelve-year-old Ananka Fishbein after she ventures into a hole near her New York apartment. Not only does she discover the mysterious Second City beneath the streets of New York, she is introduced to Kiki Strike, a black-clad, Vespa-riding, café-au-lait-drinking girl superspy. Ananka joins Kiki as she recruits the delinquent Girl Scouts of Manhattan into an elite squad, the Irregulars, to fight crime and map the Second City. But someone else is after the secrets of the labyrinth below New York, and the cruel clique at Ananka's school has taken an interest in the Irregulars as well. When it seems Kiki can't be trusted, Ananka must take matters into her own hands, risking lives, secrets, and the safety of New York City itself.

The adventure begins again when Kiki Strike and the Irregulars discover a terrified Chinese boy hiding deep inside the Shadow City. But their investigation into his past takes an unexpected turn for the worse when Oona Wong's estranged father reappears, luring his daughter away from her friends with the promise of fortune and fame. Kiki, Ananka, and their band of girl geniuses must come face-to-face with a hungry ghost, a posse of kleptomanic squirrels, the patrons of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and an ancient Chinese mummy as they delve into the mystery of the Empress's Tomb and wage a desperate battle to save Oona --- from herself.
