Death, deception, and a detective with quite a lot to hide
stalk the pages of Anthony Horowitz's brilliant murder
mystery, the second in the bestselling series starring
Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne.
"You shouldn't
be here. It's too late . . . "
These, heard over the
phone, were the last recorded words of successful
celebrity-divorce lawyer Richard Pryce, found bludgeoned to
death in his bachelor pad with a bottle of wine—a 1982
Chateau Lafite worth £3,000, to be precise.
Odd,
considering he didn't drink. Why this bottle? And why those
words? And why was a three-digit number painted on the wall
by the killer? 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. As our reluctant narrator becomes ever more
embroiled in the case, he realizes that these secrets must
be exposed—even at the risk of death . . .
