    English screenwriter and children’s novelist Anthony Horowitz is the author of the New York Times bestselling mystery adventure series featuring Alex Rider, a skateboarding secret agent who uses his wits and cool gadgets to incapacitate the bad guys. Called “the young lion of children’s literature” by former Children’s Laureate Michael Morpurgo, Horowitz has emerged as a spokesperson for encouraging and inspiring reluctant young readers. He is also the creator of the BAFTA award-winning PBS detective series Foyle’s War. His new novel The House of Silk is the first book to be commissioned by the Conan Doyle Estate as part of the official Sherlock Holmes canon. Narrated by Watson—now living in a retirement home—House of Silk takes place a year after the death of Holmes.
