The Viper's Nest is the seventh book in The 39 Clues series. It is written by Peter Lerangis and was released by Scholastic on February 2, 2010. The cover is colored brown and depicts a double headed snake and two spears. [1] There is a code written along the spears on the inside front and back covers. It is an anagram, and you must combine the two sets of letters to solve it. Unscrambled, the code says "Madrigal Leader = Grace", which implies that Grace Cahill was the Madrigal leader, confirming that Amy and Dan are Madrigals. On pages 39-65, words written in Morse Code are used along the sides of the pages, quoting: 'There is a Madrigal watcher.'
Plot
Shocked by the death of Irina Spasky, Dan and Amy march into danger once again. For the first they begin to question how much they trust their au pair, Nellie. Later in the book, she regains their trust.
The begins the morning after the fire that killed Irina Spasky. The two were shaken by what had happened and they couldn't believe that Irina was on their side after all. A few moments later, Nellie appeared, signaling the arrival of the police. It turns out that Isabel Kabra had called the police and put the blame of Irina on Alistair.
Meanwhile, after using their code breaking abilities, Dan and Amy figured that the last words Irina spoke was actually a song. "I'm with you and you're with me and so we are all together", which points them to their next destination: Pretoria, South Africa.
Upon their arrival in South Africa, a mysterious man hands a postcard to the siblings which points to a connection to a famous person called Shaka. As they unravel the history of Shaka, they find out that he was a member of the Tomas branch. Following a line of clues, Shaka was then connected to Winston Churchill.
While visiting a library with a document written by Churchill, they discover that the clue was hidden with the body of Shaka. They also find a tunnel in which, it is said, that Churchill had hid while he was in Africa. They unlocked the message of the Churchill which pointed to a certain coordinate which turned out to be a Tomas Stronghold. After infiltrating the Tomas stronghold they soon discovered a box with diamond in it. While at first they thought that was the clue, Aloe, which had been growing around the box, turns out to be the real clue.
While leaving South Africa, Dan and Amy were captured by the Kabras. They were about to kill Dan when suddenly a professor, (which helped them at the Tomas Stronghold), saves them again. They escape together with what Dan thought was the vial of green liquid that they thought was their lead to the second clue in the Maze of Bones. They escape by flying Grace Cahill's old plane. During the ride, Dan and Amy have a little quarrel, accidentally breaking the vial and spilling some of the contents onto Dan's arm. It turns out to be a Kabra poison. To get the antidote, they fly to Grace Cahill's home in Madagascar. In Grace's journal, they find a page that says ″I am feeling melancholy today, thinking about my dear A & H and missing them so. I cannot even bear to listen to my beloved di Lasso, because of the reminder...″ and on another page it says ″I have written Deng Xiaoping, who has agreed to grant to visit to A & H when he discovered that they, like him, are M."
This, along with a piece of music by di Lasso, leads Dan to realize that his and Amy's family branch is the Madrigals.
