by Anthony Horowitz
Public Enemy Number Two is a book by Anthony Horowitz that I am reading. It is the second book in the Diamond Brothers series. Tim Diamond is a private investigator- if you can call a incompetent fool who was kicked out of the police force and started his own agency. Nick Diamond, his little brother, is the real smart guy. This case of theirs begins when Chief Inspector Snape of Scotland Yard and his assistant, Boyle come and visit Nick while he is staying after school. He wants Nick to go to a minimum security prison for juvenile criminals and get the name of the criminal lord that buys and sells stolen objects (the Fence) out of a boy criminal, Johnny Powers. When Nick disagrees, Snape frames him for jewelry theft and assault and he ends up there anyway. Things get complicated when three boys try to kill Johny and Nick has to save his life. Then Johnny busts them out. At Ma Powers' house, Nick jumps out the window to follow Johnny to the Fence. Unfortunately, he ends up tied to a train track. Will Nick escape before he ends up as a smashed mess? Will Tim escape the Mickey Mouse bomb? (by the way, that's happening too) You'll just have to read the book.
