'My favourite literary hero at the moment is Anthony Horowitz' -
SHARI LAPENA, author of The Couple Next Doorand A Stranger in the
House _________________________ Death, deception, and a detective
with quite a lot to hide: the second novel in the bestselling
series starring Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne.
_________________________ 'You shouldn't be here. It's too late...'
These were Richard Pryce's last words, overheard moments before the
celeb divorce lawyer was bludgeoned to death with a GBP3,000 bottle
of wine. Strange circumstances pile up. Pryce was teetotal, so why
this bottle? Why those words? Why did the killer paint a number on
his wall? And, most importantly, which of the man's many, many
enemies did the deed? Baffled, the police are forced to bring in
Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne and his sidekick, the author
Anthony, who's really getting rather good at this murder
investigation business. But as Hawthorne takes on the case with
characteristic relish, it becomes clear that he, too, has secrets
to hide. Anthony knows they must be exposed - even at the risk of
death... _________________________ 'It's great fun and often
hilarious to watch Anthony, as Hawthorne's biographer try to solve
crimes while hopelessly out of his depth. This is meta-fiction I
can get behind.' - SHARI LAPENA 'Anthony Horowitz gets away with
murder in all sorts of ways and emerges triumphant' - THE TIMES,
Books of the Year 'Pure pleasure for readers ... A must-read
delight.' - WALL STREET JOURNAL 'This is crime fiction as dazzling
entertainment, sustained by writing as skilfully light-footed as
Fred Astaire' - SUNDAY TIMES CRIME CLUB (STAR PICK) 'A crime story
that keeps you up into the small hours... a page-turning mystery' -
METRO 'Sheer genius ... The narrative is hilarious and full of
Holmesian clues and deliberate errors which will leave the
eagle-eyed reader feeling just a bit smug. A joy from start to
finish' - INDEPENDENT 'With its teasing mix of real and fictional
characters, Horowitz's fast-paced novel remains tantalising to the
final page' - DAILY MAIL 'Fans of traditional puzzle mysteries will
be enthralled' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'One of the most creative
writers in the country today' - JEREMY VINE 'Huge fun... It's hard
to know why anyone who loves a good mystery wouldn't thoroughly
enjoy the ride' - IRISH INDEPENDENT 'A new Anthony Horowitz novel
is always something to look forward to. Anyone who likes a good
Midsomer-style murder mystery will love The Sentence is Death' -
CULTUREFLY 'Succeeds on all levels ... Horowitz has the Midas
touch' - BOOKLIST 'This mystery is a worthy and witty follow-up to
last year's best-seller The Word Is Murder ... brilliant and
enigmatic' - AARP 'No one currently working the field has anywhere
near this much ingenuity to burn' - KIRKUS
