FROM BEST SELLING AUTHOR ANTHONY HOROWITZ.
Susan Ryeland has had enough of murder.
Sheβs edited two novels about the famous detective, Atticus PΓΌnd, and both times sheβs come close to being killed. Now sheβs back in England and sheβs been persuaded to work on a third.
The new βcontinuationβ novel is by Eliot Crace, grandson of Miriam Crace who was the biggest selling childrenβs author in the world until her death exactly twenty years ago.
Eliot believes that Miriam was deliberately poisoned. And when he tells Susan that he has hidden the identity of Miriamβs killer inside his book, Susan knows sheβs in trouble once again.
As Susan works on PΓΌndβs Last Case, a story set in an exotic villa in the South of France, she uncovers more and more parallels between the past and the present, the fictional and the real world β until suddenly she finds that she has become a target herself.
It seems that someone in Eliotβs family doesnβt want the book to be written. And they will do anything to prevent it.
