Horowitz's latest novel (for adults) is The Killing Joke and opens with a man who goes into a bar... The novel's tagline is "Making jokes is no laughing matter" and one doesn't even have to be Watson to know the subplot of this book: jokes.
Guy Fletcher is an actor who hears an unfunny joke, protests against the joke and is subsequently beaten up by the jokers. Guy has two reasons for protesting against the joke: 1) He is in a bad mood because his girlfriend has left him and 2) he knows the woman the joke was about.
Guy, who has always been curious about the weirdest things, suddenly wonders: who ever thought of this cruel joke? Fletcher decides to follow the trail of the joke, hopeful to trace the origin of the joke. But it isn't before long that the reader is informed by the narrator that this may not have been Guy's best idea in years. There is something about the joke that certain people don't want Guy Fletcher to discover.

Horowitz legutols� novell�ja (fel�tteknek) a The Killing Joke azzal kezd�dik, hogy egy f�rfi bemegy egy b�rba... A novella alc�me "Making jokes is no laughing matter" �s nem kell hozz� Watsonnak lenn�nk, hogy tudjuk, a k�nyv t�m�ja egy  vicc.
Guy Fletcher  egy sz�n�sz, aki memghallgatott egy abszol�t po�ntalan viccet, tiltakozik a vicc ellen �s k�s�bb megveri a viccet mes�l� embert. Guy-nak k�t oka is van, hogy tiltakozzon a vicc ellen: 1) El�g rossz napja volt, hisz elhagyta a bar�tn�je �s 2) ismeri a n�t, akir�l a vicc sz�lt.
Guy, aki mindig is k�v�ncsi volt a term�szetfeletti dolgokra, hirtelen elgondolkozik: ki tal�lhatta  ki ezt a kegyetlen viccet? Fletcher elhat�rozza, hogy k�veti a vicc nyom�t, rem�lve, hogy megtal�lja az eredet�t. De nem sokkal k�s�bb az olvas� t�j�koz�dhat a narr�tor �ltal, hogy nem ez volt Guy legjobb �tlete az �vben. Van valami a vicc k�r�l, ami biztos nem akarja, hogy Guy Fletcher r�tal�ljon.
