By the global bestselling author, Anthony Horowitz, the third novel in his acclaimed Hawthorne and Horowitz series. The Russian mafia, a strange religious order and not one but two murders - stand by for a hugely enjoyable, twisty turny read.

On a small island, everyone's a suspect ...

Private Investigator, Daniel Hawthorne, and Anthony Horowitz have been invited to a literary festival on Alderney to talk about their new book.

They find the island in turmoil over a planned power line that is turning neighbour against neighbour. And the visiting authors seem to be harbouring any number of personal secrets.

When the festival's wealthy sponsor is brutally murdered, Alderney goes into lock-down.

With no one allowed on or off the island, Hawthorne knows he doesn't have to look too far for suspects.

But the killer is still on the island. And there's about to be a second death ...
