The Double Eagle Has Landed (2011): A short story in which the Diamond Brothers are hired to protect a valuable gold coin.

When a dwarf leaves a mysterious package in the office of Tim Diamond, the world’s worst private dick, it’s the start of a daft and dastardly chase. It took me about 5 hours to read because I just did not want to put it down, and this book is made for kids but I think this is a gripping comedy/mystery for all ages.By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. He has won many major awards including the Bookseller Association/Nielsen Author of the Year Award, the Children’s Book of the Year Award at the British Book Awards, and the Red House Children’s Book Award. It introduces a detective by the name of Daniel Hawthorne - a rather dark and dangerous man whom I actually met on the set of Injustice. Nick realises it must be valuable and decides to do something useful with his Christmas holiday, like going skiing, though Tim breaks his leg before they get on the plane and the money is wasted on fixing the leg.

With great humour, interesting chapters, and a great storyline, it is one of the best books I have ever read.The character of The Professor also Dies Differently in Adaptation, since his original death was too gruesome to realise onscreen. He has written the television series Foyle's Wa r, which aired in the United States, as well as the libretto of a Broadway musical adapted from Dr. A pacy and intense crime story that sees Private Detectives Tim and Nick Diamond attempt to solve the mystery of a Malteaser box delivered to them under suspicious circumstances. In 1991, The Diamond Brothers, a six-part television series written and directed by Horowitz himself, was broadcast on ITV.

Nick goes back to the hotel, where Naples was staying, to investigate, while Snape keeps Herbert for interrogation. Whilst highly amusing at times, to me, the emphasis upon comedy somewhat detracted from the greater plot. I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of 10 because it is a very interesting plot, which is reasonably easy to understand, including some very dramatic and adventurous twists and turns. In the midst of finding some scientific words scrawled in rough English on some scraps of paper, a grenade is hurled into the room and the hotel is destroyed.Our team is made up of book lovers who are dedicated to sourcing and providing the best books for kids. Its relevance to the story is that one of the most dangerous criminals is in London and is trying to kill Tim and Nick Diamond.
