What to expect

Hello. I am Rory Branagan. I am a DETECTIVE, and the time has come for me to solve the BIGGEST and most IMPORTANT mystery in my life: where is my Dad?

The Dame Norton Diamond, the most expensive jewel ever stolen, has been MISSING for seven years – and so has my dad. Bad guys want to find him. The police want to find him. I need to get there first, and NOTHING can hold me back. Not evil baddies, not the deep, dangerous ocean – and not even the biggest SHOCK of my life…

The seventh and final book in the hilarious and action-packed comedy-crime series is perfect for children aged 8 and up, and all children at heart.

‘I read it COVER to COVER immediately. I absolutely loved it and it put a smile the size of the Grand Canyon on my face. It is so delightful … Ralph's quizzical, characterful and charming illustrations are the perfect foil to that Clover storytelling magic, full of humour, genuinely thrilling and moving to boot.' Piers Torday, author of The Last Wild trilogy

‘The Rory Branagan books are fun, fast, and child friendly. The perfect link between picture books and full length novels. If your children like books like The Diary of a Wimpy kid, they'll love these.' Adam Baron, author of Boy Underwater
