The hunt is on.
Never before has a contest held so much promise - or so much danger.
One False Note is the second book in the first series of The 39 Clues.
The race is on to find 39 Clues that safeguard a great power, and fourteen-year-old Amy Cahill and her younger brother Dan are shocked to find themselves in the lead. The search seems to be taking them to Vienna and they hold a coded piece of Mozart’s sheet music that’s key to finding the next Clue. But tailed by a pack of power-hungry relatives, Amy and Dan can’t see if they are sailing toward victory — or straight into a deadly trap.
Tropes:
- Brick Joke: After Amy and Dan find McIntyre's tracker on Saladin's collar, they decide to hide it in Alistair's cane. The final chapter has him angrily confront McIntyre and accuse him of tracking him.
- Smart People Play Chess: Ian is described as having a very high IQ. In the same exact scene, he plays chess against a supercomputer.
