A Line to Kill

I couldnt see the sea from my bedroom but I could hear the waves breaking in the distance. They reminded me that I was on a tiny island. And I was trapped.\r\n\r\nThere has never been a murder on Alderney.\r\n\r\nIts a tiny island, just three miles long and a mile and a half wide. The perfect location for a brand-new literary festival. Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne has been invited to talk about his new book. The writer, Anthony Horowitz, travels with him.\r\n\r\nVery soon they discover that all is not as it should be. Alderney is in turmoil over a planned power line that will cut through it, desecrating a war cemetery and turning neighbour against neighbour.\r\n\r\nThe visiting authors - including a blind medium, a French performance poet and a celebrity chef - seem to be harbouring any number of unpleasant secrets.\r\n\r\nWhen the festivals wealthy sponsor is found brutally killed, Alderney goes into lockdown and Hawthorne knows that he doesnt have to look too far for suspects.\r\n\r\nTheres no escape. The killer is still on the island. And theres about to be a second death...
