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 shouldnt be here. Its too lateThese were Richard Pryce's last words, overheard moments before the celeb divorce lawyer was bludgeoned to death with a 3,000 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 mans many, many enemies did the deed?Baffled, the police are forced to bring in Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne and his sidekick, the author Anthony, whos 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_________________________Its great fun and often hilarious to watch Anthony, as Hawthornes biographer try to solve crimes while hopelessly out of his depth.
