Author Biography

Anthony Horowitz has been called the "busiest writer in Britain"-with good reason. He often spends as much as ten hours a day writing in order to balance his multiple careers as screenwriter for television and movies, playwright, and author of novels for children and adults. His many award-winning projects include Foyle's War, the highly rated drama for the BBC, which was also broadcast in America. Eagle Strike is the fourth of his best-selling Alex Rider Adventures, following Stormbreaker, Point Blank, and Skeleton Key. He is also the author of The Devil and His Boy and the upcoming Diamond Brothers Mysteries. Mr. Horowitz lives in north London with his wife, Jill, and their two children, Nicholas and Cassian.
