Bookroo's summary

Edmund Xavier Lonnrot, known as Eddie Red, is no ordinary sixth-grader. After a close call with danger, his photographic memory and sketching skills catch the NYPD's attention. Now, Eddie is thrust into a high-stakes mission to stop the elusive Picasso Gang from striking New York City's Museum Mile. As he navigates the perilous world of art theft, Eddie must outsmart the criminals before they outsmart him. Can a kid really help solve such a big case, or will the gang prove too clever to catch?

From the publisher

“Bound to be a series that will appeal to fans of fast-paced mysteries.” –SLJ Not many sixth-graders work undercover for the NYPD, but Edmund Xavier Lonnrot, code name Eddie Red, is not just any sixth-grader. A “near-death ice cream experience” lands him as a material witness in the police station with his dad, where the NYPD first discovers Eddie’s photographic memory and uncanny sketch-artist abilities. Things get dangerous when Eddie is recruited to help track down the infamous Picasso Gang that’s casing NYC’s famous Museum Mile. Look for the sequel on p. 53!
