PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER TWO A Diamond Brothers Story

Narrator Nickolas Grace tackles the second Diamond Brothers mystery with intensity. Scotland Yard needs 14-year-old Nick Diamond's help to bring down the Fence by cozying up to one of his clients, 15-year-old Johnny Powers, who's serving time at a juvenile hall. Nick refuses, so the Inspector frames him for robbery and sends him to detention anyway. The Irish accents of the demented junior mobster and his crazy Ma are hysterical. Johnny taunts and sneers while his mother barks out commands one minute and coos over her son the next. Grace also skillfully portrays Nick's whining, incompetent brother, Tim, and other teens in a repertoire that will keep listeners engaged and laughing.
