BETH JOHNSON – Shailene Woodley
Actress extraordinaire at the King’s Theater and, unbeknownst to her admiring audience, a much-valued spy. Tall and beautiful with chestnut-brown hair and green eyes, Beth has risen from lowly depths as a foundling abandoned on the steps of Bow Church to become a celebrated actress and talented espionage agent.


SIR ALAN STRANGE – Steve Buscemi
Tall, dark, and mysterious, spymaster Alan Strange seeks out candidates from all walks of life, spotting the potential for high-quality agents in the most unlikely of places. Ruthless but fair, Strange is an inspiration for his recruits and trains them well.



RALPH CHANDLER – Avan Jogia
Former street urchin Ralph has led a rough-and-tumble existence, but his dark beginnings have their uses when employed in his role as one of Sir Alan Strange’s spies, working in the service of the King.



JOHN TURNER – William Moseley
Junior clerk at the Navy Board, handsome John imagines himself in more daring, adventurous circumstances, and he soon has the opportunity when he meets Beth Johnson and becomes part of her gang of spies.



SIR HENRY VALE – Cillian Murphy
Criminal mastermind and anti-King conspirator, Sir Henry Vale was supposedly executed by beheading in 1662 for his attempt to take the King’s life — but all may not be as it seems…

EDMUND GROBY – Timothy Spall
Squat, swarthy, and with one ominous finger missing from his left hand, Groby is a relentless villain and loyal henchman. He hates the monarchy and all it represents and will stop at nothing to prevent the gang from derailing the King-killer’s plans.

About Secrets & Spies: Treason by Jo Macauley:
Fourteen-year-old Beth Johnson is a talented and beautiful young actress. She is also a spy. The year is 1664, and Charles II is on the throne, but all is not well in the bustling city of London, and there are those who would gladly kill the king and destroy the Monarchy. One morning, a mysterious ghost ship drifts up the Thames. Sent to investigate by the King’s Master of Secrets, Alan Strange, Beth quickly finds herself embroiled in a dangerous adventure. Will Beth be able to unravel the plot to kill the King before it’s too late?

About Sherlock, Lupin & Me: The Dark Lady by Irene Adler:
While on summer vacation, little Irene Adler meets a young William Sherlock Holmes. The two share stories of pirates and have battles of wit while running wild on the sunny streets and rooftops. When Sherlock’s friend, Lupin, joins in on the fun, they all become fast friends. But the good times end abruptly when a dead body floats ashore on the nearby beach. The young detective trio will have to put all three of their heads together to solve this mystery.
