Pauline Rowson to launch paperback publication of DI Andy Horton, Death Surge, 5 March with talk at Gosport Discovery Centre

I will be appearing at Gosport Discovery Centre on 5 March 2015 to celebrate the publication in paperback of Death Surge, the tenth in the Solent based marine mystery series featuring the flawed and rugged detective, DI Andy Horton.

I will be entertaining the audience with tales of murder and mayhem talking about the inspiration behind my crime novels and how I research, plot and write them.

Death Surge is already published in hardcover and as an ebook by Severn House. It has been hailed in the USA as a "crisply written, cleverly plotted procedural with a nice twist." Booklist says, "Rowson also continues the intriguing saga of Andy’s search for the mother who disappeared in mysterious circumstances when he was a child."


A telephone call from a frantic Sergeant Cantelli to say that his nephew, Johnnie Oslow, is missing cuts short Detective Inspector Horton’s sailing trip to France. Summoned back to the Isle of Wight, Horton learns that Johnnie has not shown up for racing during Cowes Week, as previously arranged. The investigation is ranked low priority until the charred remains of a body are discovered in one of the disused tunnels at the Hilsea Lines in Portsmouth. What began as the hunt for a missing man becomes the search for a ruthless killer.

Gosport Discovery Centre, Hampshire on 5 March 2015,  7.30pm. Tickets cost £4.00 and are available from the Gosport Discovery Centre.  Click here to book and for more details.
