On location with Art Marvik in the latest thriller, Lost Voyage by Pauline Rowson

Lost Voyage is the third marine based thriller to feature undercover investigator, Art Marvik, who undertakes dangerous assignments on behalf of the UK's National Intelligence Marine Squad (NIMS). Lost Voyage was published by Severn House in the UK on 10 July 2017.


Lost voyage, like the other crime novels in the Marvik series (Silent Running and Dangerous Cargo) is set against the backdrop of the sea. In Lost Voyage Marvik's mission takes him along the south coast of England to the Severn Sisters cliffs, Beachy Head and the coastal towns of Newhaven and Eastbourne.

Here are some photographs taken when I was on location research while writing Lost Voyage.

In the third in the series, Art Marvik, former Royal Marine Commando, is surprised by a late-night summons to meet Helen Shannon, a woman he helped on his first mission. (Silent Running).Marvik sets off on his powerful motorboat from the Isle of Wight for East Sussex to assist Helen.  He's convinced that Helen Shannon is being framed for murder after a body is found in her flat in Eatsbourne. And when he is asked to investigate the disappearance in 2003 of a salvage vessel, the Mary Jo, it soon becomes clear that that there is a ruthless assassin at large - one who is determined to protect the secret of the Mary Jo's last voyage.

 His investigations subsequently take him over the South Downs to the Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters chalk downs, Newhaven Marine and Cuckmere Haven.

I enjoyed my two days crime fiction location research in East Sussex. I hope you enjoy reading the fruits of my research in LOST VOYAGE.

It is often difficult to find a new author and one whose novels you think you might enjoy but libraries are a great place for dipping your toe in the water, or rather for letting your fingers do the choosing and there is also a handy little book in UK libraries that can help with that.  It's called Who Else Writes Like? Reviewers have compared the Inspector Andy Horton novels to American writers, Ed McBain and Joseph Wambaugh and their British counterparts John Harvey and Peter Robinson both of the latter mentioned in the directory Who Else Writes Like? 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.
