Public Enemy Number Two by Anthony Horowitz

This is a highly addictive book about a boy named Nick Diamond who lives with his idiotic older brother, Tim Diamond. Tim is a private detective, although he is rubbish at it. They hardly have  any money, and they live in a flat in Camden. Together they get into all sorts of trouble. Nick has nearly been killed very, very many times. Their parents live in Australia, so can’t care for their children.

In this particular story of the series, Nick Diamond is framed for robbery, violence and animal cruelty. He is sent to a maximum security prison, and shares a cell with public enemy number one, Johnny Powers. Two policemen who framed him tell him to find out who ‘The Fence` is  a master criminal. The story is about Nick's dangerous and daring attempts to get close to Johnny and find out about the ‘Fence`. Nick is nearly killed many times, but the surprising twist at the end will stick with you forever!
