Trust No One is the fifth book in the Cahills vs. Vespers series and was available on December 4, 2012. It was written by Linda Sue Park who has written many books, including "A Single Shard" and Storm Warning (Book 9 of the original series). The mission unlocked with the cards from this book will reveal Vesper Two, The Shield, who was revealed to be Isabel Kabra. There is a morse code on both the scorpion's pincers. Decoded, the message says Damien Vesper , a possible suspect for Vesper One, The Leader. Also, in the very first 39 Clues book, William McIntyre tells Amy and Dan to "trust no one." At the end of Shatterproof, there is a text from Vesper One which reveals he wants Amy and Dan to steal the Voynich Manuscript.

Summary
Edit
Amy, Dan, Atticus, and 
Added by Eric01406Amy, Dan, Atticus, and Jake arrived at the Beinecke Library. Dr. James (a curator and friend of Atticus' mom) allowed them to view the manuscript "in the memory of Astrid." She also mentioned LaCher Siffright and it is revealed that she and Astrid studied the Voynich together. Atticus explains that the pages are numbered by folios: leaves that marked two pages each.They found Folio 74 missing. After meeting Dave Speminer (also Astrid's friend), Atticus remembered something that his mom said to him before dying: Missing Voynich with LaCher. After Dave leaves, Vesper One sent them a live video of Nellie telling them of Alistair's death. They checked Astrid Rosenbloom's e-mail for any clues as to where the folio is and found a coded email to Astrid which told them that they had to go to the Iguazu Falls in Brazil. During a capoeira performance, a capoeirista "accidentally" injured Atticus. At the Falls, there was a second attack, and Dan got shot by a blow dart coated with curare, which was meant to hit Atticus. Luckily, there was a doctor nearby and managed to save Dan from the poison. They realised that Isabel Kabra was behind the attack, and that there would be one more attack, when Amy remembers that the capoeira artist told her: Um, dois, tres (One, two, three in Portuguese), and Amor to the littlest, from Isabel.
A taxi driver takes them to Mabu Thermas Hotel and Spa when the driver sees Dan's new wallpaper on his laptop, one of the 'plumbing pictures' in the Voynich. At the spa, they meet LaCher Siffright who has Folio 74. They meet for lunch at the hotel, where LaCher is injured from protecting Atticus from the third attack: a man acting as a waiter who threw a knife and a skewer at Atticus. LaCher took the knife to her neck and was taken to a hospital. She told Dan 'You know... You know', then fainted. By 'You know', LaCher meant 'You know' as in Dan knew where the folio was. They found the folio and realized that Archimedes plays a part in the Vespers' masterplan. They suspect Isabel to be Vesper One and ask Hamilton and Jonah to find out more about Archimedes at Syracuse. Before Dan and Amy went for the drop, there was a video on the DeOssie phone. In it, there was a gun at Nellie's temple, and the trigger twitched, and the video was cut off. Amy is tricked into giving Vesper One the madigral ring or Gideon's ring which Grace entrusted her with. Dan and Amy drop off the folio at Strawberry Fields, together with the last item Vesper One wanted, Gideon's Ring.
After that, they found out the Vespers' masterplan: The Vespers wanted to use the things they stole - the Astrolabe, the Book of Ingenious Devices, the 'Apology', strong electromagnets, a replica of the Antikythera Mechanism, an armillary sphere (The Marco Polo Heist), Magellan's gear (The Magellan Heist) and Gideon's Ring - to build the Machina Fini Mundi, a doomsday device using the electromagnets on subduction zones to create natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. After learning this, Amy starts hiding in her own mind, blocking out the real world. Dan then decides that the team should go to Attleboro and Evan, having been contacted by Dan, said he wanted to talk to Amy but Dan told him that she's in no condition to do so.
In the end, Dan realizes that on order to combat a doomsday device he would need the serum which he had recently created without the knowledge of Amy or the Rosenblooms. The book ends with Dan drinking an unknown liquid that took three hours to manufacture by an Ekat scientist at the Columbia Chemistry Laboratory.
