A thrilling new challenge for the world’s best-loved teen superspy.Praise for Nightshade:"Pacy and ingenious."

We could do with Alex Rider now..." Daily Mail

"Mida sina siin teed? On juba pisut hilja ..."Need sõnad, kuuldud läbi ukse avamiseks käest pandud mobiiltelefoni, olid eduka kuulsuste lahutusadvokaadi viimased. Richard Pryce leiti oma uhkest villast Hampstead Heathi külje all, kus ta oli hirmkalli veinipudeliga surnuks pekstud.Kummaline, sest Richard oli täiskarsklane. Miks see pudel? Miks need sõnad? Ja miks oli mõrvapaigas seinale maalitud kolmekohaline number? Ja mis muidugi kõige olulisem: kes juristi paljudest, paljudest vaenlastest võis nii väga ihata tema surma?Jännijäänud politsei kutsub konsulteerima oma endise töötaja Daniel Hawthorne'i, too võtab omakorda kaasa oma biograafi Anthony, kes paistab kogu selle mõrvauurimise värgiga juba üsna kenasti toime tulevat ... vähemalt enda arvates.Samal ajal kui detektiiv sukeldub kahtlusaluste eraellu, saab aina ilmsemaks, et ka tema enda minevikus peituvad tumedad saladused. Ja kui meie tõrkuv autor kistakse aina sügavamale uurimisse, mõistab ta, et kui Hawthorne uurib mõrva, siis tema peab uurima Hawthorne'i ... isegi kui see ta elu ohtu seab. Jälle.

BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES El libro que inspir la serie de PBS. SI ENTRAS EN ESTE ROMPECABEZAS LITERARIO, NO PODR S SALIR HASTA LA LTIMA P GINA Un asesinato brillante. Tan buena como una novela de Agatha Christie. Quiz incluso mejor, m s inteligente. Susan Ryeland ha sido durante a os la editora del exc ntrico escritor superventas Alan Conway. Los lectores adoran al protagonista de su serie m s famosa, el detective Atticus P nd, que se dedica a resolver cr menes en la d cada de los cincuenta por pueblecitos ingleses aparentemente tranquilos. Sin embargo, la ltima novela que ha entregado Conway, y a la que le faltan los ltimos cap tulos, no es como las dem s y est a punto de cambiar la vida de Susan. Aunque en la narraci n hay cad veres y una interesante lista de sospechosos, entre las p ginas del manuscrito se esconde otra historia: una trama que se entrelaza con la vida real en la que los celos, las envidias, las ambiciones despiadadas y los asesinatos superan con creces a la ficci n. Anthony Horowitz, autor superventas del New York Times, nos transporta a un laber ntico misterio que encierra otro misterio de la mano de personajes dignos de los mejores cl sicos en un escenario contempor neo impecable y plagado de suspense. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NOW A PBS SERIES From the New York Times bestselling author of Moriarty and Trigger Mortis, this fiendishly brilliant, riveting thriller weaves a classic whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie into a chilling, ingeniously original modern-day mystery. When editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has no reason to think it will be much different from any of his others. After working with the bestselling crime writer for years, she's intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus P nd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan's traditional formula has proved hugely successful. So successful that Susan must continue to put up with his troubling behavior if she wants to keep her job. Conway's latest tale has Atticus P nd investigating a murder at Pye Hall, a local manor house. Yes, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but the more Susan reads, the more she's convinced that there is another story hidden in the pages of the manuscript: one of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition, and murder. Masterful, clever, and relentlessly suspenseful, Magpie Murders is a deviously dark take on vintage English crime fiction in which the reader becomes the detective.

Ühel kenal kevadhommikul siseneb Diana Cowper - kuulsa näitleja rikas ema - lugupeetud matusebüroosse, et korraldada ära omaenda matused. Kuus tundi hiljem on ta surnud, kägistatud kardinanööriga oma kodu elutoas.Mängu astub endine politseiuurija, väga nutikas, aga keerulise loomuga detektiiv Daniel Hawthorne, ja üsna ootamatult avastab raamatu autor ennast tema varju ja abilise rollis_- nimelt teeb Hawthorne talle pakkumise kirjutada mõrva uurimisest raamat.Vastu tahtmist asjasse tõmmatud kirjanik Horowitz leiab end üsna ruttu keset lugu, mille üle tal puudub vähimgi kontroll. Hawthorne on üleolev, tujukas ja ärritav, aga iga kord, kui autor otsustab asjast loobuda, toimub mõni paljudest üllatavatest pööretest, ja uudishimu ei lase tal selga keerata. Samal ajal muutub üha selgemaks, et Hawthorne'i enda elus on mingi sünge saladus.Anthony Horowitz teeb selles meisterlikus ja ootamatusi täis loos jälle seda, mida oskab kõige paremini: annab klassikalisele krimiromaanile täiesti uue näo ning astub selles ise üles kui moodsa aja Watson.
