Anthony is a master entertainer the genius twists and turns of his writing and plot keep me on
the edge of my seat.' Rory Kinnear _____________ 'Our deal is over.' This is what
reluctant author Anthony Horowitz tells ex-detective Daniel Hawthorne in an awkward encounter.
The truth is that Anthony has other things on his mind. His new play 'Mindgame' is about to
open at London's Vaudeville theatre and on opening night Sunday Times critic Harriet Throsby
gives the play a savage review. The next morning she is found dead stabbed in the heart with
an ornamental dagger that has only one set of finger prints on it. Anthony's. Anthony is
arrested charged with Throsby's murder and thrown into prison. Alone and increasingly
desperate he realises only one man can help him. But will Hawthorne take his call?
