New DI Andy Horton Marine Mystery Crime Novel Published - Undercurrent
Undercurrent,
the ninth in the marine mystery crime series featuring the
flawed and rugged detective DI Horton is now published in the UK and
Commonwealth by Severn House. It will be published in
the USA on 1 May 2013.
Set in the Solent area on the South Coast of England the DI Horton series has received critical acclaim both in the UK and the USA where they have been compared to the works of Ed McBain and Joseph Wambaugh, and their British counterparts Peter Robinson and John Harvey. Translation rights to the Horton series have recently been sold to China where they are being published in 2013.
American Reviewer Booklist says, "Andy Horton is an especially good series hero, a likeable fellow with plenty of street smarts and the requisite personal baggage – an abrasive supervisor and an antagonistic soon-to-be ex-wife. Procedural fans who haven’t already read Rowson should be encouraged to do so in the strongest possible terms."
When naval historian Dr Douglas Spalding is found dead in Portsmouth’s Historic Dockyard, the Major Crime Team is adamant it is suicide. Detective Inspector Horton is not so sure. Then another body is found in similar circumstances and Horton is convinced they’re looking at murder; but not so his bosses. Angry and frustrated at the lack of investigation, Horton goes out on a limb to prove he’s right. Whichever way he turns, he finds the deaths have all the hallmarks of a cover up at the highest level, but who is behind it and why? Soon Horton begins to find disturbing similarities with his own private investigations into the disappearance of his mother thirty years ago. As he gets closer to the truth someone is determined to prevent the truth from ever coming out, even if means death: Horton’s and others’ . . .
