Alderney has been picked as the location for crime writer Anthony Horowitz's new murder mystery novel.
A Line to Kill opens with ex-cop turned private investigator Daniel Hawthorne and writer Anthony Horowitz being invited to speak at a literary festival on the island when a wealthy sponsor is brutally murdered.
As the island is thrown into lockdown, Hawthorne and Horowitz find themselves embroiled in the case and on a desperate race against time to track down the murderer before they strike again.
Horowitz was inspired to set his latest novel in Alderney after attending a literacy festival on the island himself three years ago.
A Line to Kill was released on 19 August and is the third in a series of books featuring Daniel Hawthorne and writer Anthony Horowitz as his sidekick.
On why he decided to include himself in the series, Horowitz plays down his role, describing himself as "the most stupid person in the book".
