Falcon's Malteser, The

Product Information

Meet the Diamond Brothers, the world's most defective detectives, by the author of the number one bestselling Alex Rider series. This prompted fan speculation that the novel's release might be imminent, but when Horowitz was asked in July 2012 on Twitter by a fan when this book might come out, he replied that he had not started on the book yet, and that he probably won't get around to it for "…another 3 years". Among a lot of double-crossing and deceit typical of any grown-up spy book, the key to open the treasure is found in the bar code of the box, as well as by a number of deductions, Nick figures out the location.

I Never Told You My Name: Beatrice von Falkenberg phones up the brothers' flat, and asks to speak to "Tim Diamond". If you are under 16, please obtain your parent/guardian’s permission before submitting or ask your parent/guardian to submit on your behalf.In a school setting I think this book would be terrific for any child from year 4 onwards, and I can see why Mr Horowitz has become such a big name in getting reluctant readers to pick up a book, as I would heartily recommend it to any pupil who thinks the written word can’t be as exciting as a videogame or film. Both McLinden and Dale reprised their respective film roles, which makes the television series act as a sequel to Just Ask for Diamond. A plain-clothes police man, disguised as a drunk in the street, arrests them, and they are sent to Ladbroke Grove Police Station, where Herbert's old boss, Chief Inspector Snape, accompanied by his violent assistant Boyle, arrives to question them.

The title is a spoof on the movie The Maltese Falcon and references the texts through many plot allusions.

Lovereading 4 Kids Updates from the world of children's books » Blog Archive » What’s it like being a Lovereading4kids Book Reviewer?The Neidermeyer: Snape to Tim, because he (gladly) fired Tim from the police before Tim became a detective and was rather glad to lock him and his brother up the second time they were at the scene of a crime. Don’t miss this acclaimed stage version of Anthony Horowitz’s hilarious novel introducing the Diamond Brothers Detective Agency. In the North American market, the film was instead released under the name Diamond's Edge, and was edited slightly to tone down some of the narration and violent antics of the UK release. I hope, if you read it, you'll enjoy all the clues, the red herrings, the bizarre range of suspects and the occasionally violent twists. When Nick offers to tell Snape everything the Diamonds know in exchange for what the police know, Snape begins to tell his story.

A solitary box of Maltesers is delivered by a miniature Mexican, but what’s so special about these chocolates that half of London's criminal underworld are willing to kill for them? These books are aimed at a younger readership than Horowitz's young adult novels, such as the Alex Rider series and The Power of Five series. 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. But then the host is found dead, and other people start dying in bizarre ways with no way off the island. The tale quickly escalates into a fight for the young protagonist Nick’s life, with him being kidnapped, shot at and given a pair of cement shoes.

Adults Are Useless: Nick manages to work out the villain's motives, whereas Tim picks up a smoking gun at a murder scene twice and is jailed. Almost pleasant conversation elapses into threats when Nick tells the Fat Man that they do not have the box. This title was also mentioned in a promotional blurb at the end of early 2005 edition of the Alex Rider novel Ark Angel, and again in the introduction to the re-issued 2007 edition of Three of Diamonds.
