| THE HOUSE OF SILK: THE NEW SHERLOCK HOLMES NOVEL 2011 Orion | 'A lifelong Sherlock Holmes fan, Anthony Horowitz is the perfect choice to pen the first new official mystery and what a triumph it is.While retaining faithfully the style of the originals, Horowitzs lively prose makes this exciting story just right for a new generation of fans' (Sarah Clarke, Bookseller's Choice THE BOOKSELLER ) |
| MORE BLOODY HOROWITZ 2010 WALKER BOOKS | Stories of ultimate revenge, from freshly sold human meat and uncontrollable robots, to life-sucking MP3 players and reality TV where death is the penalty - all told with dark humour and gruesome relish, and made even more fiendish by retro illustrations, chilling facts and a puckish message from the author. This is Anthony Horowitz at his most wicked. |

There he spots Desmond Cain, a high profile charity organiser, who realises that Alex is on to him and the real plans for the money he's raising. Kidnapped and whisked off to Africa, Alex learns the full horror of Cain's plot: to create an epic disaster that will kill millions. Getting word to MI6 only makes matters worse.
