Death Lies Beneath, the eighth in the British Police Procedural crime novels featuring the flawed and rugged detective, DI Andy Horton,  is published in paperback and as an unabridged audio book in February by Isis Publishing.

Death Lies Beneath, has already been published in hardcover and as an e book by Severn House, in the UK, Commonwealth and the USA where it has received rave reviews.

Acclaimed by Kirkus Reviews as a "A treat for fans of the puzzle-box mystery," Pauline Rowson has been hailed as "redefining the genre of police drama” by setting it against the atmospheric backdrop of the ever changing sea. Her cops are tough yet fallible.

With ten in the series and the eleventh to be published in April 2014, the DI Andy Horton series of crime novels has been credited as having all the ingredients of a riveting read: compelling crimes, complex past history, a tough work environment, romantic entanglements and political intrigue played out against the dramatic and powerfully evocative British marine landscape of Portsmouth and the Solent.

Of Death Lies Beneath Publishers Weekly says, "Rowson’s solid eighth police procedural featuring Det. Insp. Andy Horton contains.convincing characters and a coherent plot to bolster a crafty solution to the crimes."

My crime novels are also compared to those written by Colin Dexter, Ann Cleeves, Robert Barnard, Graham Hurley, Dorothy Simpson and Neil White.   In addition, there is also a good website called Fantastic Fiction where it is suggested that if you like Peter James and Stephen Booth then you might also like the Inspector Andy Horton and the Art Marvik Mystery Thrillers.
