An Evening with Anthony Horowitz
‘Easily the greatest of our living crime writers’ – Sunday Times
What a thrill to welcome the master of mystery (and writer of TV’s Midsomer Murders) Anthony Horowitz to Farsley, for an introduction to his new, unputdownable book in the bestselling Inspector Hawthorne series.
Join the author for an evening of crime as he shares stories of his life as a writer and introduces his latest book, A Deadly Episode.
About the Author
Anthony Horowitz has written over 50 acclaimed novels including the Magpie Murders, Moonflower Murders, the Detective Hawthorne series and the hugely popular teen spy Alex Rider series. He is also responsible for creating and writing some of the UK’s most loved and successful TV series, including Midsomer Murders and Foyle’s War. In January 2022 he was awarded a CBE for his services to literature.
About the Book
A Deadly Episode is a wild ride through a world that the author knows only too well, and the most personal case Hawthorne has had to deal with so far.
The Word is Murder – the first book in the Hawthorne series, is being made into a major feature film. The actors have been cast, the script written, and filming has already started in Hastings.
But when Hawthorne visits the set, he finds a far from happy family. The director’s pretentious, the screenwriter’s an eco-warrior, the two stars hate each other, and the producer has run out of money.
And things are about to get much, much worse.
In the middle of shooting, the actor playing Hawthorne is stabbed – which leaves the real Hawthorne with no choice. He has to step in and investigate his own murder.
But, has the killer got the right man? Was it Hawthorne himself who was meant to be the target?
