Blood on the Sand, A DI Horton crime novel by Pauline Rowson now available in Large Print
Blood on the Sand has been published in Large Print format by Severn House. It is the fifth in the marine mystery series of police procedural crime novels featuring the flawed and rugged DI Andy Horton..
It is already available in hardcover, trade paperback, mass market paperback and as an e book, on Kindle and Nook. The unabridged audio book version was published in 2011 by Isis Publishing and and is read by the accomplished actor, Gordon Griffin.
Blood on the Sand is published in the UK and the USA by Severn House and has received rave reviews in the States.
Reviewer Booklist says: 'This is another solid entry in a consistently well written series. Like Ed McBain, Rowson works many subtle variations on the procedural formula (including very interesting relationships between Andy and a couple of his superiors). A definite winner in the crowded field of British procedurals.'
"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 she professes to be the dead man’s sister and psychic, Horton’s old adversary, DCI Birch, is convinced she is mentally disturbed and the killer, but Horton is not so sure. Soon he is uncovering a web of intrigue that ripples down the years, and which someone is determined should never be revealed."
The DI Horton marine mystery police procedural crime series is set on the South Coast of England in the Portsmouth, Isle of Wight and Solent area.
A Killing Coast, the seventh in the DI Horton series is published in hardcover in the UK on 26 January 2012 and in the USA on 1 May 2012.
“Deserves mention in the same breath as the work of Peter Robinson and John Harvey.” Booklist Starred Review of Footsteps on the Shore

A Killing Coast
What's on in October
There's a lot happening in October. This month sees the publication of A Killing Coast (DI Andy Horton 7) in Large Print on 30 October and Undercurrent (DI Andy Horton 9) in paperback. Undercurrent is available now in paperback. There are currently eleven in the DI Andy Horton police procedural crime series.
In Undercurrent, naval historian Dr Douglas Spalding is found dead in Portsmouth’s Historic Dockyard.It looks like suicide but Horton goes out on a limb to prove otherwise. Soon he's embroiled in a cover up at the highest level. Booklist gave it a great review: "As usual, Rowson offers up a thorny, multifaceted plot; a profusion of unusual twists; a likable yet complex hero; and plenty of fast-paced, knuckle-biting action."
A Killing Coast, published in Large Print on 30 October sees DI Andy Horton involved in an investigation into a body found floating in the sea off Portsmouth harbour. It throws his capabilities as a detective into question. Not only does he need to find a brutal killer, but he also has to prove he's still up to the job. A Killing Coast is also available in paperback, as an ebook and an audio book.
Mysteries in Paradise (Australia) said of A Killing Coast, "If you like police procedurals with a twist, plenty of red herrings, and a strong sense of location, you'll like these."
All the Horton novels are also available for loan in libraries in the UK, USA and Commonwealth.
And I'm delighted to announce that my murder mystery play, Murder at the Pelican Club, is being premiered in Kent at the end of October. Act One Drama Group Presents - Murder at the Pelican Club on 30/31 October and 1 November
Be transported back to November 1940 and the Pelican nightclub and restaurant in Liverpool during the Blitz. Enjoy the live music while the murder takes place and see how the well drawn characters deal with the twists and turns of the plot. The village hall becomes the nightclub and snacks will be on sale to accompany the drink you can bring with you. If you really want to get involved come in 1940s dress! Miss it if you dare!
There are several talks on the agenda in October and if you're a fan of CSI then tickets for the very popular CSI Portsmouth event on Saturday 8 November, where crime fiction meets crime fact, are on sale now, but buy them soon if you're keen to come along, because tickets are selling fast!
In between all this activity I'll be knuckling down to writing DI Andy Horton number thirteen. The first draft is almost completed but there are several revisions yet to be done.
