When editor Susan Ryeland is given the tattered manuscript of Alan Conway`s latest novel, she has little idea it will change her life. She`s worked with the revered crime writer for years & his detective, Atticus Pund, is renowned for solving crimes in the sleepy English villages of the 1950s. As Susan knows only too well, vintage crime sells handsomely. It`s just a shame that it means dealing with an author like Alan Conway... But Conway`s latest tale of murder at Pye Hall is not quite what it seems. Yes, there are dead bodies & a host of intriguing suspects, but hidden in the pages of the manuscript there lies another story: a tale written between the very words on the page, telling of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition & murder. From Sunday Times bestseller Anthony Horowitz comes Magpie Murders, his deliciously dark take on the cosy crime novel, brought bang- up-to-date with a fiendish modern twist. ...
