Vervolg op Het reuzenradmysterie Mijn naam is Ted Spark. Ik ben 12 jaar en 281 dagen oud. Ik heb zeven vrienden. Drie maanden geleden heb ik het mysterie opgelost van de verdwijning van mijn neef Salim uit het London Eye. Dit is het verhaal van mijn tweede mysterie. Deze zomer ging ik op vakantie naar New York om mijn tante Gloria en neef Salim te bezoeken. Toen ik daar was, werd er een schilderij gestolen uit het Guggenheim Museum, waar mijn tante Gloria werkt. Iedereen was heel ongerust en verdrietig. Ik begreep het probleem niet. Ik zie niet het nut van schilderijen, zelfs als ze 9,8 miljoen dollar waard zijn. Misschien komt dat door mijn ongewone brein, dat anders werkt dan dat van andere mensen. Maar toen werd tante Gloria beschuldigd van diefstal – en tante Gloria is familie. En toen besefte ik hoe belangrijk het is om het schilderij te vinden en te ontdekken wie het echt had meegenomen.

While visiting their cousin Salim in New York City, Ted and Kat investigate the theft of a famous painting from the Guggenheim Museum for which Salim''s mother is the prime suspect.--

My name is Ted Spark. I am 12 years and 281 days old. I have seven friends. Three months ago, I solved the mystery of how my cousin Salim disappeared from a pod on the London Eye. This is the story of my second mystery. This summer, I went on holiday to New York, to visit Aunt Gloria and Salim. While I was there, a painting was stolen from the Guggenheim Museum, where Aunt Gloria works. Everyone was very worried and upset. I did not see what the problem was. I do not see the point of paintings, even if they are worth millions of pounds. Perhaps that''s because of my very unusual brain, which works on a different operating system to everyone else''s. But then Aunt Gloria was blamed for the theft - and Aunt Gloria is family. And I realised just how important it was to find the painting, and discover who really had taken it.

Of all the mysteries that Hazel and I have investigated, the Case of the Deepdean Vampire was one of the strangest.

And she seemed to have an unhealthy influence over another pupil, Amy Jessop. Now, I do not believe in vampires - I am the Honourable Daisy Wells, after all. But when I heard the rumour that Camilla was seen climbing head-first down a wall, I knew it was time to investigate...
