Close to Death is by Anthony Horowitz. The fifth book in the Hawthorne and Horowitz realistic fiction mystery series. Anthony's publisher wants another Hawthorne book, but there has not been a murder recently and Anthony has no idea how to come up with a story. Then he decides to write about a case Hawthorne has already solved; Hawthorne reluctantly agrees and offers up a murder in an exclusive residential neighborhood called Riverside Close. Mr. Kentworthy is found dead, and the police call in Hawthorne because all of the other neighbors are suspects. As Anthony begins to sift through the details Hawthorne has provided to write the novel, he stirs up a mystery from Hawthorne's past that might be better left alone.
