All of Horowitz’s conceits are present here: a murder mystery within the murder   mystery, winking nods at the author’s real-life career as a novelist and screenwriter, and playful   experimentation with the detective-story form.\" — Wall Street Journal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn  New York Times  bestselling author Anthony Horowitz’s sixth literary whodunnit in the Hawthorne   and Horowitz series, a major feature film is in the works. Except—they’re behind schedule, they’ve run   out of money and . . . oh! The star has just been murdered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEx-Detective Inspector Daniel Hawthorne is dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOr, rather, the actor playing him in the film adaptation of  The Word is Murder  is. Rising star David Caine has been stabbed, and it seems that everyone on the set had a motive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCaine had just fired his PA. He had fallen out with his director, slept with the screenwriter, humiliated his co-star and dropped his agent days before he was about to sign a multi-million-dollar deal to appear in the next  Spider-Man  movie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut what if Caine’s murderer had made a mistake? What if it was the real Hawthorne who was the intended victim? For it turns out that the brilliant detective may have got it wrong ten years earlier. An innocent man has died in jail. And perhaps someone has decided that Hawthorne must pay the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the film set on the south coast of England, the story moves to Reeth, in Yorkshire, the village where Hawthorne grew up. A burned-down school, a car accident that isn’t what it seems, blackmail and murder in an Elizabethan country house . . . somehow they combine to unlock the secret of what has happened in Hastings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor once, the local police are helpful. DS Sarah Milnes gives Hawthorne carte blanche to investigate and there may even be a hint of romance in the air. Which leaves his hapless sidekick, Horowitz, on his own, stumbling his way to the truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma,  A Deadly Episode  is an intriguing page-turner that once again demonstrates why Anthony Horowitz is the reigning king of the modern whodunit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe other books in the Hawthorne and Horowitz mystery series include (in chronological order):\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Word is Murder The Sentence is Death A Line to Kill A Twist of the Knife Close to Death\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":54360105517424,"sku":"A5295","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/8543\/8576\/files\/ebook_4348_ebba602d15.jpg?v=1790160233","url":"https:\/\/antbook.store\/de-de\/products\/a-deadly-episode-a-novel-a-hawthorne-and-horowitz-mystery-6","provider":"ANTBOOK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
