FAB link leads to murder in famed author’s latest novel

Wednesday 17 March 2021

Anthony Horowitz is best known for his suspense and mystery novels, from Alex Rider to James Bond, and his latest work casts its eyes to the Channel Islands.

Horowitz's latest book ‘A Line to Kill’ is based in Alderney and concerns a murder, an island-wide lockdown and the “turmoil” surrounding a planned power line. Sound familiar?

The book is set to be published later this year and Express has arranged to talk with Mr Horowitz closer to the time, to discuss his inspiration.
