On location with DI Andy Horton in A Killing Coast

Horton's investigations into his mother's disappearance and the arrival of a former girl friend complicate a complex murder investigation for the troubled detective, DI Andy Horton in A
Killing Coast, the seventh in the DI Andy Horton series of police
procedural mysteries. It opens with Horton at Lee-on-the-Solent on the
south coast of England where he is visiting the former copper, PC Adrian
Stanley, who was detailed to cursorily investigate Andy's mother,
Jennifer's, disappearance thirty years ago. Can Stanley tell Horton more
about what happened to Jennifer on that foggy November day when she
left their council flat in a tower block in inner city Portsmouth and
abandoned her ten year old son to the mercies of social services, and a
succession of children's' homes and foster parents?



As
I happened to be over at Lee-on-the-Solent recently before giving a
talk about my crime novels to a lovely audience at Stubbington library I
took the opportunity to take some photographs of the Solent.



Here are some location shots for A Killing Coast set against the
atmospheric backdrop of the Solent, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight on the south coast of England.
