      About This Book

      What Emil lost: all his money.
      What Emil found: 100 detectives who'll help him catch the man who stole it!

      When Emil got on the train for the city, his money was safely pinned to his pocket. When he got off, the money was gone!

      Emil knows who the thief is and he must catch him. But how can he, when he's all alone in the city with no one to help?

      Enter the professor, Gustav, and the biggest group of detectives Emil has ever seen. They'll help him catch the thief—no matter what it takes to do it!
