In 1953, Ian Fleming’s literary sensation James Bond emerged onto the world’s stage. Nearly seven decades later, he has become a multi-billion-pound film franchise, now equipped with all the gizmos of the modern world. Yet Fleming’s creation, who battled his way through the fourteen novels from 1953 to 1966, was a maverick – a man out of place. Bond even admits it, wishing he was back in the real war… the Second World War. Indeed, the thread of the Second World War runs through the whole of the Bond series, and many were inspired by the real events and people Fleming came across during his time in Naval Intelligence.In Ian Fleming’s War, Mark Simmons explores these remarkable similarities, from Fleming’s scheme to capture a German naval codebook that appears in Thunderball as Plan Omega, to the exploits of 30 Assault Unit, the commando team he helped to create, which inspired Moonraker.

Den glattungede skilsmisseadvokat Richard Pryce bliver banket til døde med en vinflaske i sit fashionable London-hjem. På væggen står tallet 182 malet i rødt. Hvad betyder det? Og hvem var det, der dukkede op ved hoveddøren, få minutter før Pryce døde? Konfronteret med denne uløselige gåde må politiet endnu en gang bede den temperamentsfulde privatdetektiv Daniel Hawthorne om hjælp. Hawthorne er en genial efterforsker, men han har også en skyggeside og er en næsten ulidelig samarbejdspartner for forfatteren Anthony Horowitz, som Hawthorne hyrer til at skrive en bog om sagen. Efterforskningen fører dem rundt i Londons virvar af gader og parker, imens det i stigende grad går op for Anthony, at han er nødt til at komme til bunds i Hawthornes hemmeligheder. Mord på gamle flasker er andet bind i den mesterligt drejede krimiserie HAWTHORNE & HOROWITZ, der byder på utallige overraskelser, twists og forviklinger.

Advokaten Richard Pryce har gjort sig en förmögenhet på kändisars skilsmässor och skaffat sig en rad fiender på vägen. När han hittas mördad, ställs polisen inför ett intrikat mysterium. Vem besökte honom, strax innan han dog? Och vad betyder de tre siffror som mördaren har målat på väggen? Intill kroppen hittas mordvapnet, en flaska Chateau Lafite från 1982, värd 3000 pund. Men Richard Pryce drack inte alkohol. Frågorna hopar sig och polisen tvingas lämna över fallet till privatdetektiven Daniel Hawthorne, som med nöje tar sig an utredningen på sitt säregna sätt. Med sig har han åter sin motvillige parhäst, författaren Anthony Horowitz. När ännu ett mord inträffar, inser de att de måste gräva djupt i offrens förflutna för att finna lösningen på mysteriet.”Döden sätter punkt” är andra delen i en serie och en briljant nystöpning av det mest klassiska av alla brottlösande par – Sherlock Holmes och doktor Watson.

Kui endine politseiuurija Daniel Hawthorne ja tema kaaslane kirjanik Anthony Horowitz kutsutakse esinema kirjandusfestivalile idüllilisel Alderney saarel, ei oska nad aimatagi, et satuvad otse keset mõrvalugu ja jäävad külmaverelise tapjaga väiksele saarele lõksu.Kui kohalik padurikas ärimees ja festivali sponsor leitakse pärast pidu oma uhkes häärberis jõhkralt tapetuna, satuvad Hawthorne ja Horowitz juhtumi keskmesse. Saar on suletud, kedagi ei lubata sisse ega välja, ja on täiesti selge, et mõrvar varitseb otse nende keskel. Aga kes? On see kuulus lasteautor, täiesti tundmatu prantsuse luuletaja, telekokk, kes annab välja oma kokaraamatuid, pime selgeltnägija või hoopis keegi kohalikest, kes kõik on tülli pööranud saarele rajatava elektriliini pärast?Või hoopis mees Hawthorne minevikust, kellega detektiivi rajad on ristunud varemgi? Horowitz avastab oma õuduseks, et tema uurijast sõbral oli saarele tulekuks hoopis teine põhjus, mitte festivalil esinemine ..."Roimarlik rida" on korraga lustlik satiir raamatukirjastamise ja festivalide maailmast ning samas tohutult nauditav "suletud toa" mõistatus - lugu, mis on täis geniaalseid süzheepöördeid, oskuslikke vihjeid ja saatanlikult osavaid kõrvalejuhtimisi.

En lys forårsmorgen i London træder Diana Cowper ind ad døren hos en bedemand. Hendes ærinde: at planlægge sin egen begravelse. Seks timer senere bliver hun fundet død, kvalt med en gardinsnor i sit eget hjem. Sagen lander hos den vanærede politibetjent Daniel Hawthorne, som har hyret forfatteren Anthony Horowitz til at dokumentere sit virke i håb om genoprejsning. Hawthorne er brysk, temperamentsfuld og irriterende, men forfatteren og detektiven etablerer sig alligevel i et overraskende givtigt partnerskab. Det står dog snart klart, at Hawthorne har raslende skeletter i skabet, og før han ved af det, er Horowitz selv blevet en del af et narrativ, han ikke kan kontrollere. Kodeordet er mord er første bind i den mesterligt drejede krimiserie HAWTHORNE & HOROWITZ, der byder på utallige overraskelser, twists og forviklinger.
