Happy first anniversary to Inspector Ryga in DEATH IN THE COVE
DEATH IN THE COVE which introduces Scotland Yard detective, Inspector
Alun Ryga, was published a year ago in September 2019 and I am pleased
to say is building a lovely fan base. Set in the 1950s England, Ryga, newly promoted to Inspector at
Scotland Yard, is a former Merchant Navy seaman and German
prisoner-of-war. He is sent to the Island of Portland in Dorset to solve
an unusual and baffling case.
DEATH IN THE COVE is published in paperback, e book, on Kindle and Kobo and as an audio book.
When the body of a man dressed in a pinstriped suit is
discovered by war photographer, Eva Paisley, in a secluded bay on
Portland Island, Dorset, Inspector Alun Ryga of Scotland Yard is
despatched to investigate. Recently promoted, the thoughtful, observant
Ryga, is on his first solo investigation outside of London, and is keen
to prove his worth. Ignoring the warnings of the local police inspector,
and the Dorset Chief Constable, that his trust in Eva Paisley is
misjudged, Ryga quickly realises that her observations could provide the
breakthrough he needs in a complex murder investigation and the answer
to the haunting circumstances that have sent the man in the pinstriped
suit to his death.
The audio book is published by B7 Media and narrated by Jonathan Rhodes.
The second Inspector Ryga mystery DEATH IN THE HARBOUR will be published in paperback, e book, Kindle and audio book in November 2020. You can pre-order a copy now.

Art Marvik's backstory - The Marvik mystery thrillers re-issued in paperback, ebook and Amazon Kindle
I
like heroes and as I’m a sucker for adventure stories and mystery there
was no doubt that this was what SILENT RUNNING had to be. I wanted a
character who was not bound by the official rules of the law, but who
was nevertheless on the right side of it. SILENT
RUNNING also had to have all the hallmarks of my brand – a troubled
hero, the sea, boats, interesting and diverse characters and lots of
action. So already the stage was set, enter Art Marvik.
Marvik’s not sure what lies ahead for him but when his former marine comrade, Shaun Strathen, enlists his help to find a missing computer scientist and a former girlfriend of Marvik’s goes missing after visiting him in his remote Isle of Wight cottage Marvik find his himself sucked into a dangerous mission.
What's his back story?
Every character has to have a back story. Marvik was sent to an elite
and expensive boarding school at the age of eleven,very much against
his will. He grew up feeling his marine archaeologist parents loved
their occupation and their quest for aquatic treasures more than they
loved their son. After their death in a diving accident in teh Straits of Malacca when Marvik was
seventeen he joined the marines and put his parents, their life and
their wealth behind him. Langton, the psychiatrist, who treated Marvik
after a head injury sustained in combat, said he was running away from
his emotions, maybe he was, but he would continue running. The past was
the past, but the past has a nasty habit of catching up with you and
Marvik’s is about to do just that in this series of currently three. I'm writing number four!
"A likable, smart, tough, but all too human hero,
make this a cracking-good new series—action fans need Marvik on their
radar." Booklist
"Enjoyed Pauline Rowson's Silent Running. Hope Helen of the purple hair comes back in the next book!"
"Just finished Silent Running. Loved it! Think Andy has some competition."
"Awesome what a story, the amount of research incredible. Love Art, great new hero. More please."

This extract is taken from SILENT RUNNING no. 1 in the series.
In
his first undercover investigation for the UK’s National Intelligence
Marine Squad, former Royal Marine Commando, Art Marvik finds himself on
the hunt for the truth behind a fifteen year old murder in which an
innocent man was convicted.
Adrift after leaving the marines, Marvik finds himself being used as bait to catch a ruthless killer whose slaying spree spans the decades. It's a mission that will put all his skills and training to the test- a dangerous assignment that could cost him his life
They
walked to the marina office by the lock where Marvik asked a member of staff to
call a taxi for them. Outside Helen turned towards the harbour. ‘It’s nice
here,’ she said, leaning on the railings and gazing out across the lake-like water
and the surrounding flat countryside in the distance. The wide channel to their
right led up to the small hamlet of Dell Quay, barely a handful of houses and a
pub. Further northwards the water narrowed to a creek and then a stream and
beyond that the South Downs.
‘Quiet
too except for those noisy seagulls.’ She squinted up at them. Then she looked despondent.
‘I should have phoned in sick yesterday. I’ll need a job to go back to, even
though I hate it.’
‘We’ll
find a pay phone in Bognor.’
‘Never
been to Bognor,’ she said, making an effort to brighten up.
‘There’s
a first time for everything.’
She
smiled. ‘Isn’t there a saying, "Bugger Bognor”, by some king or other?’
‘King
George V who died in 1936. The legend has it that they were his last words and there
are a couple of versions on why he said that. One is that he was in Bognor in 1928 recovering from a chest
infection at a wealthy friend’s house and when he was leaving and was
petitioned to rename it Bognor Regis, as a mark of his visit, he said "Bugger
Bognor!” Another is that on his deathbed it was suggested that he’d soon be
well enough to return for another spell of convalescence at Bognor, to which he
replied—’
‘Bugger
Bognor.’
‘And
promptly died.’
‘So what
did he actually say on his deathbed?’
‘No idea.’
She
laughed. Marvik wished he could prolong the moment but soon they’d be sucked
back into the more immediate past, and her past, and the wounds would start
hurting again.
Staring
back out to the harbour, she said, ‘I hope Amelia Snow is an early riser.’
Marvik
just hoped she was at home.

September's newsletter of book news, talks, articels and writing tips
What's in my September newsletter? September sees the re-publication of my three Art Marvik mystery thrillers, SILENT RUNNING, DANGEROUS CARGO, and LOST VOYAGE.
Also in September I'll be featuring articles on my website about
the inspiration behind each of the three Marvik mysteries and in the
absence of giving any talks because of Covid-19 I'll be taking a look
back at my talks and interviews in previous years.
On the writing front you can take a peek at where I work! I'm
working on revisions for number three in the 1950s set Inspector Ryga
mysteries, on the first draft of DI Andy Horton number sixteen and
revisions of Marvik mystery thriller number 4. Plenty to keep me out of
mischief.

DEATH IN THE COVE - "The ending was a twist I didn't see coming"
'The clues are there, but I followed the red herring and didn’t guess the murderer. Will you? Don’t miss this first book in what is sure to be a first-class series. Whilst the murderer is unmasked there are left some tempting hooks for the next book. Highly recommended.' Mystery People Magazine
"I enjoyed this book. The setting was interesting because it happens about 5 years after WW II. It was fascinating to learn about the rationing and human toll that still lingered that many years after the war.I would recommend it for lovers of mysteries without gory details,a solid police procedural with interesting characters. The ending was a twist I didn't see coming." Audible
DEATH IN THE COVE available in paperback, e book, Kindle and audio book.
Coming in November 2020 Inspector Ryga Mystery 2 DEATH IN THE HARBOUR now available to pre-order
