“Our deal is over.”
That's what reluctant author Anthony Horowitz tells ex-detective Daniel Hawthorne during an awkward meeting. The truth is that Anthony has something else on his mind.
His new play, Mindgame, is about to be presented at the Vaudeville Theater in London. Not surprisingly, Hawthorne refuses a ticket.
On opening night, Sunday Times critic Harriet Throsby gives the play a savage review, focusing particularly on the writing. The next morning, she is found dead, stabbed in the heart with an ornamental dagger that, it turns out, belongs to Anthony and has his fingerprints all over it.
Anthony is arrested, accused of Throsby's murder, thrown in prison and interrogated.
Alone and increasingly desperate, he realizes that only one man can help him.
But will Hawthorne answer his call?
