Now that he has become the NYPD's youngest crime-solving hero, Eddie Red and his best friend Jonah are ready to relax on a family vacation to Mexico. But when Eddie's father is falsely accused of stealing, what they find is another complex mystery. Can Eddie ? with his artistic talent and photographic memory ? and Jonah uncover clues and catch the real crook in time?
