Indiana, 1987. Thirteen-year-old Gary Fitzpatrick is anxious for answers. Frustrated that he’s no closer to the truth about his amputated leg, the determined boy hops the train to Chicago with his family to take in the sights and hunt for elusive information. And when news breaks of an international criminal with a taste for antiquities, he’s suspicious of a fellow passenger wanting museum access to draw an ancient cup.
Arriving in the city only to find no helpful threads about his lost limb, the downcast youngster and his siblings head to the famous Oriental Institute to see the exhibitions. But when Gary crosses paths with the sketchy young artist from before, the junior sleuth is startled when the building goes on alert.
Can he stop the theft of a priceless treasure?
