“It was a mean day in SW6. The weather was as raw as a skinned knee. And we were down to our last can of beans. Then Johnny Naples walked or rather waddled into our lives. He was nervous. He was clutching a suspicious package like his life depended on it. (It did). But, most of aII, he was small. Very small. In fact, once Johnny took a seat, you couldn’t see him. But so what if he was a twitchy, sweaty albeit nattily dressed – South American dwarf? We all have our shortcomings. He was a client. And a client meant two things. Money, And more beans.” Some lucky strike for the Diamond brothers: Tim, and his kid brother Nick. They’re would be private eyes and they’re some partnership. Tim’s the dumb one so naturally he’s the boss – but Nick’s the real brains. He’s smart. He’s slick. He’s spunky. He’s also under age -14 years old, to be precise. But we digress. Back to the dwarf. He entrusts the suspicious package to the Diamond brothers. They do not open it. (Except of course, they do.) Just keep it safe for a couple of days. (Some hope.) Until the dwarf comes back to claim it. Except that, in the best tradition of the Forties film noir, he never does. Because the next time the boys encounter Johnny Naples he’s lying on the bed in a scuzzy hotel room. And he’s not asleep. He’s dead. Worse than that, there’s a police bust and the Diamond boys are caught red-handed standing over the limp dwarf clutching the smoking murder weapon. It’s cell-time! But it’s also time for a compromise. Perhaps the police and the Diamond brothers can help each other – because both of them are after the same thing. 3/4 million in uncut diamons, to be precise the fabulous fortune of one Henry von Falconberg: international crook, also known as the falcon, a man who’d been behind just r crime in the western world. Note the use of the past tense, there.
