The House of Silk

The New Sherlock Holmes Novel

Anthony Horowitz

The first official new Sherlock Holmes mystery, written by global bestseller Anthony Horowitz.

Bestselling novelist and Holmes expert Anthony Horowitz will bring the great man to life again for a new generation of readers. As the creator of Foyle, Anthony has already displayed his talent for plotting and characterisation. Having been a lifelong fan of Conan Doyle's novels, he was the perfect choice to return to the original stories and create a new mystery for Holmes and Watson.

Interest in Holmes has never been higher than right now. A blockbusting movie adaptation has coincided with the BBC's intriguing modern update and both successes are to be repeated this Spring.

Horowitz says: 'I fell in love with the Sherlock Holmes stories when I was 16 and I've read them many times since. My aim is to produce a first-rate mystery for a modern audience while remaining absolutely true to the spirit of the original.'

About the Author

Anthony Horowitz may have committed more (fictional) murders than any other living author. As a TV screenwriter he created both Midsomer Murders and the BAFTA-winning Foyle's War. Other TV work includes Poirot and the widely acclaimed mini-series Collision and Injustice. He is also the author of a string of bestselling children's books, including the Alex Rider series which has sold 13 million copies worldwide. He has often claimed Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to be an inspiration for his work ever since encountering the Holmes canon, aged 16. He currently lives in Clerkenwell. http://www.anthonyhorowitz.com
