Well here it is - the fabulous cover of my new crime novel, the first in the
explosive new marine crime series featuring Art Marvik, Silent Running,

finds himself being
used as bait to catch a ruthless killer whose slaying spree
spans the decades. In a race against time, Marvik is sucked into a
dangerous
assignment and a web of deceit that will need all his skills, and those
of his
friend, former Marine Special Forces Communicator, Shaun Strathen, to
get to
the truth. Their mission, to stop a ruthless killer before he kills
again.

Book reviews
I've been fortunate enough to have some great reviews from websites and reviewers in the UK, USA and Commonwealth for my crime novels and it's always rewarding when a reader takes the time to tell me how much they have enjoyed reading my crime novels. One such reader recently put on Facebook that her New Year resolution was to read again the complete DI Andy Horton series from beginning to the latest one. Now that's nice.
Recommendation and leaving a review on one of the book websites such as Amazon, or sharing it on social media via Facebook, Twitter for example is a great way to spread the news about a good book so if
you've enjoyed reading any of my crime novels I'd be delighted if you
could take the time to leave a review.
And for those of you who have already done so, many thanks.

Locations for the DI Andy Horton Crime Series
The Marine Mystery DI
Andy Horton series of police procedural crime novels are set in the
Solent area on the South Coast of England, and more specifically, Portsmouth,
the Isle of Wight and surrounding areas of Hayling, Fareham and Gosport.
Essentially they are set around the sea - hence Marine Mysteries - my trademark, and because
I live in the area I'm often out looking for a good place to put a body - or
rather perhaps I should say I'm out on location research and gaining inspiration.
These photographs were taken recently on a trip between Portsmouth and
Gosport, which means a short ferry journey across the very busy and narrow
entrance of Portsmouth Harbour, where my rugged and flawed detective, DI Andy
Horton, often travels sometimes with the marine police unit of Sergeant
Elkins and Constable Ripley, in the pursuit of an investigation.
