Description

When a Romanian maintenance worker is convicted of murdering a retired advertising executive at a luxurious Suffolk hotel, the case seems closed—until a woman discovers that the crime may have been fictionalized in a mystery novel by a now-deceased author. Convinced that the truth lies hidden within the pages of Atticus Pund Takes the Cake, she begins to unravel the secrets of Farlingaye Hall, only to vanish herself under mysterious circumstances. Susan Ryeland, the former editor of the novel's author, abandons her quiet life in Crete to investigate both the original murder and the woman's disappearance, finding herself drawn into a labyrinth of deception where fiction and reality dangerously intertwine. In this ingeniously constructed mystery, Anthony Horowitz weaves together multiple layers of intrigue, challenging readers to separate truth from storytelling and justice from convenient conclusions. A masterful exploration of how stories can conceal as much as they reveal, this novel confirms Horowitz's place among contemporary masters of the puzzle mystery.
