Lime Pictures seek to bring the rugged sailing detective Inspector Andy Horton to TV Screens


Top UK television production company, Lime Pictures, has extended the option on Pauline Rowson's Solent based Inspector Andy Horton crime novels and are seeking to bring the flawed and rugged sailing detective to the TV screens.

A spokesperson for Lime Pictures says, ‘DI Andy Horton is a returning detective who can cut through the competition. His character is fascinatingly knotty, with his difficult childhood, troubled marriage and chequered career, and a detective who lives on a small boat and rides a motorbike is a fresh reboot of the TV detectives that we already know. We are confident that the intriguing partnership of Horton and Cantelli will attract a fantastic cast.'

With a production base in Liverpool, Lime Pictures is the biggest independent production company outside of London and produces multi platform content for global audiences. Lime is the home of the UK’s most talked about television – from cutting-edge formats to multi award winning, long-running drama. With a stable of quality writers and exciting directing talent, Lime has gained a reputation as a first class production house. The company works with big talent to deliver distinctive, ground-breaking projects.

Published by Severn House, Pauline Rowson's Inspector Andy Horton crime novels have been hailed in the UK and the USA as "exemplary police procedurals”, "cleverly plotted”, "complex and multi-layered.” Her novels have also been translated into several languages. She lives in Hampshire and was long listed for the Dagger in the Library Award and her thriller, In Cold Daylight was voted the third most popular novel for World Book Day 2008.

Lime Pictures, adds, ‘The unique angle of each DI Horton mystery being connected to the sea can truly set this series apart, making it look and feel distinctive from existing urban police procedurals or rural detective shows. The sailing element can make the series into a visual treat and the setting of historic Portsmouth, Hayling Island, and the Isle of Wight brings a landscape to screen that is rarely seen in drama and also reaches an under served audience.’

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.
