About the author

Antony Johnston

A successful games writer of franchise-defining titles such as Dead Space, Resident Evil Village, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, and CSR Racing, all of which were multi-million sellers, Antony Johnston is also an established fiction writer. The 100 million grossing movie Atomic Blonde was based on his Cold War spy thriller graphic novel; his first cosy crime book The Dog Sitter Detective won the Barker Book Award for fiction and is now a successful series; his Brigitte Sharp espionage series is being developed for TV by Red Planet Pictures (Death in Paradise, Beyond Paradise, et al); and he also writes the bestselling Alex Rider graphic novels, adapted from Anthony Horowitz’s YA books. The combination of these skills makes Antony uniquely qualified to write a whodunit gamebook in which you play a detective who must solve the murder.
