Author of MORIARTY and TRIGGER MORTIS, Anthony Horowitz offers up a whodunit like no other in this fiendishly clever new novel.

As Susan knows only too well, vintage crime sells handsomely. It's just a shame that it means dealing with an author like Ala...

Before the `Masterpieces' section, some thoughtful text discusses Hopper from a number of angles, laying the groundwork with Life & Times, travelling through the Places that inspired him, examin...
