The New Marine Mystery Crime Novel Published
This week sees the official publication of the new Marine Mystery crime novel featuring my flawed and rugged Portsmouth detective, Inspector Andy Horton.
Dead Man’s Wharf, which is published in hardcover, is the fourth in the marine mystery series. It is set against the backdrop of the Solent on the South Coast of England.
I'll be signing copies of Dead Man’s Wharf and others in the series at The Hayling Island Bookshop during Independent Booksellers Week on Saturday 20 June at 11am. Before then I am in Cornwall, Bristol and Dorset for book signings.

Pauline Rowson reads from the fifth Inspector Horton marine mystery crime novel, Blood on the Sand
I've posted a new video here, which is also on my You Tube channel and my official web site. It's an extract from my radio interview with Rob Richardson of Write-Invite, on Express FM, in which I read from my latest Inspector Andy Horton marine mystery crime novel, Blood on the Sand. The fifth in the Andy Horton series.
It's taken from the beginning of the novel, what they call a police procedural in the US, and I guess it is as Inspector Horton has a new crime to solve in the Solent area of England, this time mainly on the Isle of Wight. Blood on the Sand is currently available in hard cover on sale and in libraries. It will be published in paperback at the end of September.
Here's the blurb on Blood on the Sand.
Inspector Andy Horton’s holiday peace is shattered when stepping out across an abandoned golf course on the Isle of Wight on a cold, grey January, he finds himself facing a distraught young woman with a gun in her hand leaning over a corpse in one of the discarded bunkers. When it’s revealed that the dead man was working on a top-level environmental project on behalf of the European Commission, Horton is urged by Superintendent Uckfield to go undercover. His mission is to trap a clever killer, but he soon finds his own life in danger... Then another death changes everything. With no clear suspects, and a confusion of possible motives, a frustrating, complex case is complicated still further by Horton’s growing feelings and concern for the woman. As he goes in search of the truth, aided by Sergeant Cantelli, Horton uncovers a web of intrigue that ripples down the years, and which someone is determined should never be revealed.
I hope you enjoy listening to it.Blood on the Sand
