For a thrilling reading experience, discover Deadly Episode by Anthony Horowitz, a British crime novel that blends fiction with reality. The story sees the author and his detective investigate a murder on a film set.
A wild ride through a world that the author knows only too well, and the most personal case Hawthorne has had to deal with so far.
Product Information: The Special Collector's Edition: features a gold foiled design underneath the dust jacket and is exclusive to the first print run in the UK only.
From the globally bestselling author of Close to Death comes an unputdownable new mystery in the Hawthorne and Horowitz series.
The Word is Murder, the first book in the Hawthorne series, is being made into a major feature film.
The actors have been cast, the script written, and filming has already started in Hastings.
But when Hawthorne and Anthony visit the set, they find a far from happy family.
The director's pretentious, the screenwriter's an eco-warrior, the two stars hate each other, and the producer has run out of money.
And things are about to get much, much worse.
In the middle of shooting, the actor playing Hawthorne is stabbed - which leaves the real Hawthorne with no choice. He has to step in and investigate his own murder.
Because the killer may not have got the right man. Was it Hawthorne himself who was meant to be the target?
A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, A Deadly Episode is an intriguing page-turner that once again demonstrates why Anthony Horowitz is the reigning king of the modern whodunit.
