Product Information

A secluded island hotel just off the English coast becomes a crime scene, as a scandal-inducing femme-fatale is felled. All the guests on the island are suspects, but are they alone and is all quite what it seems? Beatrice von Falkenberg: The Falcon's Dutch wife, Beatrice von Falkenberg was once the greatest actress in the Netherlands. The Falcon fell in love with her when he saw her in Othello in the title role. But he never apparently told her where the diamonds were hidden. Therefore, she would probably want to know.

When a solitary box of Maltesers is delivered to their office by a miniature Mexican, the Diamond Brothers think nothing of it. But all of a sudden, they find themselves the target of half of London’s criminal underworld – what’s so special about these maltesers that criminals are willing to kill for them, anyway? New Old Friends are very proud to have been named the first ever recipients of the Creative Bath Awards in the Writer category in 2017 and 2018. The acclaimed stage adaptation of Anthony Horowitz’s laugh-out-loud funny novel of the same name has come to London's Vaults this summer for a strictly limited season.
