Anthony Horowitz To Write New Sherlock Holmes Novel

Earlier today the BBC reported on the title of the new James Bond thriller by Jeffery Deaver.

In that same article, there is a mention that Anthony Horowitz will write a new, full-length Sherlock Holmes novel, the first time the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has given its approval for such a work.

"My aim is to produce a first rate mystery for a modern audience while remaining absolutely true to the spirit of the original," said Horowitz.

The untitled book is expected to be published in September 2011.

Horowitz is the creator of Foyle's War, one of the finest (in our opinion) television series ever to be produced, as well as a contributor to several other crime drama series, including Midsomer Murders and adaptations of Agatha Christie's Poirot novels and short stories.
