Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue is a strikingly original and taut thriller series with a jaw-dropping reveal waiting at the end. A light aircraft with nine passengers crashes in the Mexican jungle – and everyone survives. But then, one after another, they begin to die in strange and violent ways, and very soon, they begin to realize that, for some inexplicable reason, somebody wants them dead. As the story unfolds in flashback, we meet the survivors as they fight against the heat, a shortage of supplies, and the many dangers of the jungle – and each other. The setting becomes increasingly tense and claustrophobic until, finally, the identity of the killer and the truth are revealed.

"I loved writing Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue, which I think may be the twistiest story I've ever come up with," said Horowitz, who also penned the popular Alex Rider teen spy book series. "It's not just a question of who is committing all these murders, it's why — and I hope audiences will enjoy the truly 'killer' ending."

Nine Bodies In a Mexican Morgue is an original mystery series written, created, and executive produced by Anthony Horowitz CBE (Alex Rider, Magpie Murders) and produced by Eleventh Hour Films, a Sony Pictures Television (SPT) backed company. The series is directed by Brian O'Malley and Viviane Andereggen and produced by Richard Burrell. Jill Green and Eve Gutierrez are the executive producers for Eleventh Hour Films. SPT will distribute the series worldwide. It will be on the BBC in the UK.
