  Five skeletons are unearthed on Rat Island, an uninhabited island owned by the Ministry of Defence in Portsmouth Harbour. Among them are the remains of a woman dubbed ‘Quintessa’ by the detectives, who was murdered sometime in the 1980s. (Please note this was previously published as Dead Passage). THE RAT ISLAND MURDERS is number fourteen in the DI Andy Horton Solent Murder Mystery Series and, like the others, is set on Horton’s CID patch, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. As many of my readers know it is locations that often inspire me and this crime novel was no different.     Here is one of the locations that inspired me for THE RAT ISLAND MURDERS and for others in the DI Andy Horton Solent Murder Mystery series - the ancient fortifications of Old Portsmouth.
