Who is aboard a multi-million pound superyacht at Ryde?
That was the question posed by the Isle of Wight County Press and I can tell them. It is millionaire Russell Glenn. Who? You might well ask because he doesn't exist not in real terms that is but he's very much alive and kicking in the DI Horton novel, A Killing Coast, number seven, in the series set in the Solent area on the South Coast of England.

Glenn owns a superyacht like the one moored off Ryde and which I took inspiration from when I saw it moored up at Portsmouth Gunwharf Quays (renamed Oyster Quays in the Horton novels) in November. The Queen stopped by to have lunch on board with its owner.
Complete with its five-metre sundeck pool, sea spa, gym, steam and massage rooms, VIP suite it can accommodate up to twelve guests in the very lap of luxury. In A Killing Coast on board is Russell Glenn and Avril Glenn former girlfriend of DI Andy Horton.
