This third book in the Specialists Series has some new twists and turns that will shock those who read.  This time around, Gigi is in charge of a mission that involves tracking down one of the top crime people in the world.  Even the government hasn’t been able to catch him.  He is smuggling chemicals into the country and making bombs, and it’s up to Gigi to come up with a plan to stop him.
           
There is, however, one twist: her cover is a cheerleader and her teammate for the mission, Beaker, is not all that happy about it.  With tensions on the rise, how will Gigi and Beaker track the bad guy down?  Will Gigi impress TL with her leadership skills?  All will be revealed in this worthy addition to the Specialists series: The Specialists: The Winning Element.

“Yes heavy.”  Stache smiled, his twisted black moustache turning at the edges of his grin.  “Heavy like a trunk.”

“A trunk!” said Smee.  Then, after a pause, he said: “Say, Cap’n, wasn’t you looking for a trunk?”
“OF COURSE I AM, YOU SEAGULL-BRAINED CRETIN,” bellowed Stache.  “THE TRUNK IS WHY WE’RE ON THIS BLEEDIN’ ISLAND!”
