I love crime thrillers, so this one sounds like it could be right up my alley. I also live in Brooklyn, so that is just a bonus! My only worry is that it seems like it may be a bit too juvenile for me. I am still going to give it a try though!

Justin Reed has a life with difficulties. He is an orphanage and is trying to find the murderer of his father as soon as possible. All things are described in detail. His life story has been elaborated in the form of summary. Thanks for your review.

This is a good review and after reading it I am very interested in reading this book. Who can imagine Oliver Twist and Home alone mixed in together? Then add that with an attempt to take down the CIA to revenge the death of his father. I must say I am all in when it comes to wanting to read this book.

Justin reminded me of Eggsy from the movie Kingsman who was suddenly introduced to the world of spies. I'm looking forward to reading more of Justin's adventure! Thank you for your review!

I love action, murder, suspense books. This sounds just up my alley. Especially when it deals with a young juvenile helping to solve the mystery of his fathers murder. I definitely will add this to my reading list.

Imagine a story where Oliver Twist got caught up in the wild world of spying in an attempt to catch his father's murderer and take down the CIA's most wanted criminal. That gives you a good idea of Code Name: Dodger by Eric Auxier! It's streetwise teen + James Bond + the wild ridiculousness of something like Home Alone all mixed together in the best of ways.
You got me at the first introduction! This novel sounds like an exciting adventure told from a refreshing point of view. Thank you for this lovely review.

I like your review and you perfectly summed up the plot of this book by using movie and book references. I like that this is a series so the characters can grow and develop with a continuing story line. I am a big fan of the mystery and suspense genre so having the CIA involved makes me more interested in reading this book.

If only I would have been a bit younger this book would be right up my alley. Spy novels packed with action and humor are really my type of thing, but nowadays I prefer James Bond to look like Pierce Brosnan and not some kid.
