In New York Times bestselling author Anthony Horowitz’s ingenious fourth literary whodunit following The Word is Murder, The Sentence is Death, and A Line to Kill, Horowitz becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation—and only one man can prove his innocence: his newly estranged partner in solving crime, Detective Hawthorne. “I’m sorry but the answer’s no.” Reluctant author, Anthony Horowitz, has had enough. He tells ex-detective Daniel Hawthorne that after three books he’s splitting and their deal is over. The truth is that Anthony has other things on his mind. His new play, a thriller called Mindgame, is about to open at the Vaudeville Theater in London’s West End. Not surprisingly, Hawthorne declines a ticket to the opening night. The play is panned by the critics. In particular, Sunday Times critic Margaret Throsby gives it a savage review, focusing particularly on the writing. The next day, Throsby is stabbed in the heart with an ornamental dagger which turns out to belong to Anthony, and has his fingerprints all over it. Anthony is arrested by an old enemy . . . Detective Inspector Cara Grunshaw. She still carries a grudge from her failure to solve the case described in the second Hawthorne adventure, The Sentence is Death, and blames Anthony. Now she’s out for revenge. Thrown into prison and fearing for both his personal future and his writing career, Anthony is the prime suspect in Throsby’s murder and when a second theatre critic is found to have died in mysterious circumstances, the net closes in. Ever more desperate, he realizes that only one man can help him. But will Hawthorne take the call?

V tomto napínavém románu od úspěšného spisovatele Anthonyho Horowitze je literární legenda James Bond zpátky na vzestupu v padesátých letech minulého století. Píše se rok 1957 a James Bond (agent 007) jen tak tak přežil souboj s Auricem Goldfingerem v pevnosti Fort Knox. Po boku má až do konce Pussy Galorovou. Ani jeden z nich netuší, že se SSSR a Západ pouštějí do vražedného boje o technickou převahu. A ve hře je opět Směrš. Tyto zvláštní jednotky sovětské vojenské kontrarozvědky plánují sabotáž závodu formule 1 na Nürburgringu, nejnebezpečnějším okruhu v Evropě. Bond sedí v kokpitu, ale události nabírají nečekaný obrat, když je svědkem setkání člena Směrše s nečestným korejským milionářem Sin Čä-songem. Bond se záhy ocitá v úplně jiném závodě, jehož následky by mohly změnit svět. Osud ho svádí dohromady s Jeopardy Laneovou, americkou agentkou a vyšetřovatelkou finanční kriminality, a v situaci, kdy se úzkostí zastavuje srdce, odhaluje plán, který by mohl srazit Západ na kolena. Tímto brilantně napsaným poutavým dobrodružstvím věhlasný autor splňuje všechny nároky a oprašuje zlatou éru bondovek, plných rychlosti, nebezpečí, silných žen a ďábelských ničemů. Znovu se setkáváme se známými tvářemi, jako jsou M a slečna Moneypennyová. Jde o první bondovku s využitím dosud neznámých podkladů, které napsal Bondův stvořitel Ian Fleming. Agent 007 je zde takový, jak si ho představoval.

Susan Ryelandová dala sbohem Londýnu i práci redaktorky a vede se svým přítelem útulný hotýlek na idylickém řeckém ostrově. Má tedy všechno, co si jen může přát - nebo snad ne? Inu, ne tak docela. Hotel jí přerůstá přes hlavu, finanční problémy klepou na dveře, personál je všechno, jen ne spolehlivý, s přítelem to poněkud skřípe, a navíc jí začíná chybět londýnský literární svět. Jednoho dne ji navštíví manželé Trehernovi, majitelé mnohem většího a luxusnějšího hotelu v Anglii. Jejich vyprávění o vraždě, která se tam před časem stala během svatebních oslav jejich dcery Cecily, je natolik podivné, že podnítí Susaninu zvědavost. A když vzápětí vyjde najevo, že Cecily zmizela jen pár hodin poté, co si přečetla detektivku Atticus Pünd se ujímá případu, kterou Susan kdysi redigovala, nezbývá než se vydat zpátky do Anglie a zjistit k tomu něco bližšího. Vše totiž nasvědčuje tomu, že by se na stránkách knihy mohly skrývat nejen stopy k několik let staré vraždě, ale i vodítko k nalezení Cecily. Susan by už ale měla vědět, že přílišná zvědavost může být nebezpečná. V rafinovaně napínavém detektivním thrilleru plném zvratů a ozvěn ze světa Agathy Christie se v hlavních rolích znovu setkáváme se Susan Ryelandovou a Atticusem Pündem, hlavními hrdiny románu Mnoho strak věští vraždu.
