What's on in February: DI Andy Horton (8) Death Lies Beneath in paperback and audio book, talks and writing
February sees the publication in paperback of Death Lies Beneath, the eighth in the series of British Police Procedural crime novels featuring the flawed and rugged detective, DI Andy Horton. It is also now released as an unabridged audio book published by Isis Publishing and read by Gordon Griffin.
Death Lies Beneath has already been published in hardcover and as an e book in the UK, Commonwealth and the USA by Severn House,where it has received some lovely reviews.
Kirkus Reviews says: "A treat for fans of the puzzle-box mystery," and Publishers Weekly who say, "Rowson’s solid eighth police procedural featuring Det. Insp. Andy Horton contains convincing characters and a coherent plot to bolster a crafty solution to the crimes."
Death Lies Beneath
A body found on a rotting boat being salvaged in Portsmouth Harbour throws Horton into a complex and frustrating investigation. As the tension mounts to solve the case, Horton receives a chilling message; time, it seems, is also running out for him personally…
Speaking Engagements
In February I'll also be entertaining the audience of the Young at Heart Club, Hayling with tales of Murder, Mystery and Mayhem on 5 February at 2.15pm and the Southampton and District Centre of National Trust on 20 February and I'm looking forward to meeting some DI Andy Horton fans.
You can see all my up and coming talks and appearances on my events page
On the writing front
I'll also be continuing to write the next in the DI Andy Horton series, number twelve, as well as working on the creation of a new series featuring a new hero and a rather unusual theme.
I'm looking forward to a productive and interesting February.

It's back to school for DI Andy Horton in Deadly Waters
The school term is on us once again and so it is for the flawed and rugged Portsmouth copper DI Andy Horton in the second of the DI Andy Horton series, Deadly Waters, which is set around Portsmouth and Langstone Harbour. There are some photographs of where Deadly Waters is set on my website blog
Ambition, murder, adultery... Horton has only a week to find a killer...
In Deadly Waters,a woman,the headteacher of struggling inner city Portsmouth school, is found brutally murdered on the Mulberry in Langstone Harbour. A note is found on the body. Have you forgotten ME? Is it simply a senseless murder by an unhinged killer or does someone close to the head have a motive for murder? As Horton delves deeper into the investigation, aided by Sergeant Cantelli, the tension mounts. With the clock ticking Horton is soon forced to take a decision that will put his life on the line.
