The French Confection

by Anthony Horowitz

Part of Diamond Brothers

First published 2003

Nick and Tim Diamond have won what seems like the perfect prize: a free weekend in Paris. The self-proclaimed detective duo arrives in the City of Light expecting relaxation and sightseeing. Instead, they immediately sense something wrong. The atmosphere feels threatening, and it has nothing to do with French cuisine. Nick realizes they have walked into serious trouble. What started as a dream vacation quickly transforms into a dangerous situation. The brothers must use their questionable detective skills to survive what could become their final case. Their Parisian adventure tests whether these bumbling investigators can solve a mystery when their own lives depend on it.
