Passion, deception, an unexplained death and a detective with quite a lot to hide lie at the heart of Anthony Horowitz's brilliant new murder mystery, the second in the bestselling series starring Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne.
Anthony Horowitz is responsible for creating and writing some of
the UK's most loved and successful TV series, including Midsomer
Murders and Foyle's War. He is the author of the teen spy series,
Alex Rider, which has sold more than twenty million copies
worldwide.
He has been widely praised for his murder mysteries which began
with two highly acclaimed Sherlock Holmes novels and continued with
the bestselling Hawthorne series in which he appears as the former
detective's hapless sidekick. In January 2022 he was awarded a CBE
for his services to literature.
His novel, Magpie Murders, was made into a BBC drama starring
Lesley Manville as editor Susan Ryeland. The sequel, Moonflower
Murders, also starring Lesley Manville, was a BBC drama in 2024.
