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 Together they
will set out to solve this most puzzling of mysteries.

What neither of them know is that they are about to embark on a dark and dangerous journey where the twists and turns are as unexpected as they are bloody.

The Sentence is Death
Secrets Can Kill

Smooth-tongued divorce lawyer Richard Pryce 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 it at his front door just minutes before he died and while he was still talking on the phone?

Confronted with the most baffling of mysteries, the police are forced to turn to disgraced private investigator Daniel Hawthorne.

As the death toll rises, Hawthorne confronts a tangle of secrets while at the same time doing everything he can to conceal his own past.

A Line to Kill
Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne and the writer Anthony Horowitz have been invited to a literary festival on the island of Alderney to talk about their new book.

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.

When the festival’s wealthy sponsor is found brutally murdered, Alderney goes into lockdown and Hawthorne knows he doesn’t have to look too far for suspects. There’s no escape. The killer is still on the island.

And there’s about to be a second death . . .
