New York Timesâbestselling author Anthony Horowitz and eccentric detective Daniel Hawthorne team up again in a new mysteryâthe sequel to the brilliantly inventive The Word Is Murderâto delve deep into the killing of a high-profile divorce lawyer and the death, only a day earlier, of his one-time friend
âYou shouldnât be here. Itâs too late . . . â
Heard over the phone, these are the last recorded words of successful celebrity-divorce lawyer Richard Pryce, found bludgeoned to death with a bottle of wineâa 1982 Château Lafite worth £2,000, to be preciseâin his bachelor pad.
Odd, considering Pryce didnât drink. Why this bottle? And why those words? And why was a three-digit number painted on his wall? And, most important, which of the victimâs many, many enemies did the deed?
Baffled, the police are forced to bring in private investigator Daniel Hawthorne and his sidekick, the author Anthony, whoâs 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 exposedâeven at the risk of death . . .
