Anthony Horowitz

So here is a somewhat melancholy Dr. John Watson missing his famous literary subject and deciding now is the time to write up that so dangerous case he’s kept mum for years. It begins when a frightened London art dealer in old masters come to 221B Baker Street and recounts a sale and terrible events ... (more)that played out in America-Boston-and now have followed him to England. Or that’s how it starts… Written with the stamp of the Conan Doyle Estate by the author of Alex Rider and various fabulous TV gems like Foyle’s War, this tale draws in Mycroft, Moriarity, Watson’s wife Mary, Mrs. Hudson, Lestrade, and other beloved figures in the canon.

Anthony Horowitz, the award-winning author of the Alex Rider Adventures will travel to Mission Viejo from England on March 22 to discuss "Scorpio Rising" - the last book in his series. The 7:00 p.m. presentation, which is expected to draw hundreds, takes place in the Mission Viejo City Council Chamber ... (more)at 200 Civic Center. Fans of the popular author are eagerly awaiting the 9th and final book in the fast-paced Alex Rider Adventures, which were inspired by the author’s love of the James Bond movies. The books have a big following - particularly from male youngsters ages 9 to 18. Horowitz is one of England’s most successful television screenwriters and his works include the BBCs Foyle’s War Series and the Midsomer Murders. Two movies - "Stormbreaker" and "The Gathering" - have been based on his writings. Horowitz has also been chosen by the Conan Doyle estate to write a new full-length Sherlock Holmes novel, which will be published this September. Horowitz' fun-filled presentation will be followed by a book signing. Books purchased at the event will be available for signing. This program is sponsored by A Whale of a Tale Bookshoppe and the Friends of the Mission Viejo Library.
