The Key Sentence is Death

About This Novel
A famous divorce lawyer was killed tragically in his home. The murder weapon was an expensive bottle of red wine worth 2,000 pounds. Three numbers were left on the wall at the death scene: 182. Before the previous book was published, Hawthorne approached Horowitz with a case that was very similar to what would appear in the BBC TV series "Sherlock." The two began a twists and turns of investigation again. Horowitz encountered many setbacks during this period, such as the script being rejected, the filming of the TV series being behind schedule, bad weather, being framed, having to become Watson (he clearly wanted to be a detective), and other (more popular) writers. At the same time, there are more and more mysteries surrounding Hawthorne, which are even more complicated than the case. Horowitz faced his notebook and racked his brains: a bottle of sky-high price of red wine, a death message, a scandal, a past event, and two best-selling authors. What is the connection between all this?

It is still the author who leads us to explore the case from his perspective. Although his reasoning is wrong, it is reasonable. When guessing the murderer from the reader's perspective, the author interestingly makes himself "traumatized" again! Okay, let's read the next book "A Line to Kill"...
