“…for a place in your book”

Anthony Horowitz will write the winner of a charity auction into his new Sherlock Holmes novel. If the successful bid is over £1,000 the winner’s appearance and background will be written in. £2,500 allows them to meet Holmes and for over £5,000 they will get killed off! The money will go to the anti-bullying charity Kidscape. The bidding is taking place on EBay, with the auction closing on 1 September 2013.  You can read the Daily Telegraph article here.
