The Word Is Murder:
A woman is strangled six hours after organising her own funeral.Did she know she was going to die? Did she recognise her killer?Enter Daniel Hawthorne, a detective with a genius for solving crimes and an ability to hold secrets very close.With him is his writing partner, Anthony Horowitz.
The Sentence is Death:
Secrets can kill.Smooth-tongued divorce lawyer Richard Price is bludgeoned to death at his London home.Scrawled on the wall beside the body: the number 182.What does it mean? And who was at his front door just minutes before he died and while he was still talking on the phone?
A Line to Kill:
Very soon they discover that dark forces are at work.Alderney is in turmoil over a planned power line that will cut through it, desecrating a war cemetery and turning neighbour against neighbour.And the visiting authors seem to be harbouring any number of unpleasant secrets.
The Twist of a Knife:
The next morning she is found dead, stabbed in the heart with an ornamental dagger that has only one set of finger prints on it. Anthony's.Anthony is arrested, charged with Throsby's murder, and thrown into prison.Alone and increasingly desperate, he realises only one man can help him.
Close to Death:
At least it does until Giles Kenworthy moves in with his wife and noisy children, his four gas-guzzling cars, his loud parties and his plans for a new swimming pool in his garden.His neighbours all have a reason to hate him and are soon up in arms.
