The Sentence is Death is by Anthony Horowitz. The second book in the Hawthorne and Horowitz realistic fiction mystery series. Hawthorne interrupts a television shoot to wrangle Horowitz to join him to solve the murder of a celebrity-divorce lawyer. He was beaten to death and had his throat slashed with a bottle of very expensive liquor, but he didn't drink. The number 182 is found painted on the wall in green paint. Hawthorne's enemies on the police force threaten Horowitz if he doesn't keep them in the loop, and also begin to interfere with his television show. Hawthorne is being his usual tight-lipped self. Horowitz is in a pickle, will he be able to solve the murder himself without getting injured by the police and the murderer? Fans of this series will enjoy this installment.
