Horowitz is known for his novels (including The Alex Rider series, Magpie Murders and many more) and his TV work (Foyle’s War, Midsomer Murders etc.) This is his only full-length play. Set in an asylum for the criminally insane, a writer of “true crime” paperbacks is trying to get an interview with a notorious mass murderer but nothing is as it seems. “A dazzling thriller and a jet-black comedy that twists its way towards a shocking conclusion.”
