The Sentence is Death by Anthony Horowitz

Passion, deception, an unexplained death and a detective with quite a lot to hide lie at the heart of Anthony Horowitz's brilliant murder mystery, the second in the bestselling series starring Private Investigator Daniel Hawthorne. 'Easily the greatest of our crime writers' Sunday Times ‘An absolutely wonderful writer’ Richard Osman 'My favourite literary hero at the moment is Anthony Horowitz' Shari Lapena _____________________ Secrets can kill. Smooth-tongued divorce lawyer Richard Price is bludgeoned to death at his London home. Scrawled on the wall beside the body: the number 182. What does it mean? And who was at his front door just minutes before he died and while he was still talking on the phone? Confronted with this most baffling of mysteries, the police are forced to turn to private investigator Daniel Hawthorne. _____________________ 'Pure pleasure for readers ...
