Synopses

The French Confection and the Greek who stole Christmas

Nick Diamond faces two adventures that test him to the full as part of the world’s worst private-detective agency. The link between the cases is murder, and the Diamond Brothers may be next if they do not handle the situation carefully.

The Falcon's Malteser

A dwarf visits the office and leaves a package, drawing Tim Diamond into a difficult case. After the office is ransacked, the package turns out to be only a box of Maltesers, and the visitor is murdered soon after.

Public Enemy Number Two

Nick Diamond ends up sharing a prison cell with Johnny Powers, Public Enemy No.1. To rescue the situation, he must bring down a master criminal known as the Fence, but first he has to get out of jail.

The Blurred Man & I Know What You Did Last Wednesday

Two new cases arrive for Tim Diamond, to Nick’s dismay. One begins with a man run over by a steamroller; the other takes them to a remote Scottish island where guests are dying, and they must find the murderers before it is too late.

South by South East

Tim is broke until a mysterious stranger offers him a wad of money for his overcoat. The stranger is shot, and the danger quickly threatens the Diamond Brothers as well.
