"There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favourite book."
— Marcel Proust
Anthony Horowitz, OBE (born 5 April 1955) is an English novelist and screenwriter specialising in mystery and suspense. His work for young adult readers includes The Diamond Brothers series, the Alex Rider series, and The Power of Five series (aka The Gatekeepers). His work for adults includes the novel and play Mindgame (2001), and two Sherlock Holmes novels The House of Silk (2011) and Moriarty (2014). He has also written for television, contributing scripts to ITV's Agatha Christie's Poirot and Midsomer Murders. He was the creator and writer of the ITV series Foyle's War, Collision and Injustice.
Anthony Horowitz is the most recent author chosen to write a James Bond novel by the Ian Fleming estate, and is entitled Trigger Mortis (2015). The novel is set in 1957 against the backdrop of the Space Race, and begins two weeks after the events of Goldfinger. The novel is the first in the literary series to be set during the original timeline created by Fleming since 1968's Colonel Sun and sees the return of Bond girl Pussy Galore, who made her debut in Goldfinger. In this story, Bond's mission is to protect a British racing driver at the Nürburgring racetrack.
