Workers say they saw bright yellow eyes in a river. This takes place in Florence. Leonardo da Vinci and his dog, Bandit, look into it. Bandit must face his fear of water to help his master. They try to find out if a monster is there.

Pascal Brissy wrote this mystery for children just learning to read. It forms part of a series about Leonardo’s gifted dog. Bandit has a brilliant mind, just like his master. He solves mysteries and keeps Leonardo safe from Machiavelli’s plots.

Mehdi Doigts drew the colour pictures. The story ends with facts about the time and place. It also gives readers an idea to try themselves.
