누군가 매일밤 올리버네 창고에 불법 침입하는 것 같다. 쓰레기통이 항상 쓰러져 있기 때문이다. 올리버는 범인을 찾기 위해 네이트에게 사건을 의뢰한다. 네이트는 어떻게 엄청난 용의자 중에 한 명을 골라낼 수 있을까? 그래! 쓰레기 통 안에서 범인을 기다리는 거야!

Beginning readers are introduced to the detective mystery genre in these chapter books. Perfect for the Common Core, kids can problem-solve with Nate, using logical thinking to solve mysteries! 

Somebody has been raiding Oliver's garbage can each night. How can Nate narrow the long list of suspects down to one? Nate the Great might just have to go under cover . . . under cover of the garbage can lid, that is!
