Anthony is a prolific writer for television, film and theatre. He created Foyle's War and the popular series Midsomer Murders and has also worked on Agatha Christie's Poirot; Crime Traveller; and Murder Most Horrid. His books have been published throughout the world, and translated into languages from Croatian to Finnish, Greek to Japanese.

Anthony Horowitz lives in North London with his family. His whole family gets involved with his writing. His wife Jill has produced several of his scripts, including Foyle's War, and his son Cassian is already a seasoned actor, having appeared in three of his shows. But perhaps the most exciting challenges go to his older son Nicholas who has helped Anthony to research the Alex Rider books by trying his hand at everything from Scuba-diving to snowboarding to surfing!

Press Quotes:

'Since the cliffhanger ending of Eagle Strike the world has been waiting impatiently for an answer: what is Scorpia...? Expect Potteresque queues in April when the answer is finally revealed... buckle up for a bumpy, thrilling ride. Anthony Horowitz continues his top form; the dialogue is as slick as ever, the action scenes completely preposterous, the villains loom larger than life. 007 might as well retire to an old folk's home and drink his Martini in peace - he has been made redundant by Alex Rider, the world's coolest spy.' The Bookseller

'Horowitz is pure class,stylish but action packed...he's figured out that being James Bond in miniature is way cooler than being a wizard.' The Mirror

'Horowitz will grip you with suspense, daring and cheek - and that's just the first page!' The Times

'Kidlit has a new King..Anthony Horowitz' The Independent on Sunday
