Hospices in 2009.
Mark A. Cooper author of the Jason Steed series has been compared
to Anthony Horowitz (readers have actually theorized it's Horowitz
using a pseudonym).
On 19 January 2011, the estate of Arthur Conan Doyle announced that
Horowitz was to be the writer of a new Sherlock Holmes novel, the
first such effort to receive an official endorsement from them and
to be entitled the House of Silk. Paul Panting is a British actor
and voiceover artist, known for roles in EastEnders, Silent Witness
and Doctors. He has provided voice acting skills for television
shows including The Octonauts, Bob the Builder and Watership Down,
as well as various video games. Paul has also narrated over 40
audiobooks in a wide variety of genres.
'There aren't many writers who in one book can bridge the gap
between Enid Blyton, Ed McBain and JRR Tolkein, but it's the kind
of challenge that the energetic Horowitz relishes.'
*The Daily Telegraph*
'Horowitz is marvellous at getting inside the minds of
disenfranchised marginalised teenage boys.'
*The Times*
'Powerfully realised, non-stop action.'
*Books for Keeps*
