By global bestselling author Anthony Horowitz, comes a brilliantly entertaining new mystery in the Hawthorne and Horowitz series.
The quiet, gated community of Riverview Close offers its inhabitants the perfect life within one of the most desirable areas of London.
That is, until Giles Kenworthy moves in with his wife and noisy children, his gas-guzzling cars, loud parties, and outrageous plans for a new swimming pool.
His neighbours all have a reason to hate him. So when Kenworthy is shot dead with a crossbow bolt through his neck, they all come under suspicion.
Only former Detective Daniel Hawthorne has a chance at solving the case, but he's stuck on one part of the puzzle –
