A bully and, above all, thief has been terrorising the city of Nijmegen for years. No one has a trace of him. The police are completely in the dark. But.... now that he has stolen the statue Mariken in the Grote Markt and put up a replica in return, some trace seems to have been found somewhere. The trail starts on the west side of Kronenburg Park. But who is smart enough to do something with this. Which team of people can come and help the city of Nijmegen and track down the Notorious Nijmegenaar?
