Harlequin Books to publish DI Andy Horton Lethal Waves by Pauline Rowson in the USA
Harlequin Books USA has bought mass market direct to consumer paperback rights to the Inspector Andy Horton crime novel LETHAL WAVES.
LETHAL WAVES is number 13 in the DI Andy Horton mystery series of currently 14 and is already published in the UK in paperback and as an e book, on Amazon Kindle and Kobo.
Inspector Andy Horton’s meal with his old friend,
Inspector John Guilbert of the States of Guernsey Police, is cut short
when a woman is found dead in her cabin on the
ferry from Portsmouth to Guernsey. There don't appear to be any
suspicious circumstances. It's not Horton's case. But as soon as Horton
returns to Portsmouth he's called in to investigate the death of a
vagrant found lying partially covered
under a rotting houseboat. This time, it’s clearly murder.
Troubled by the many unanswered questions surrounding both deaths, Horton must call upon all his skills and intuition to solve a complex case, uncovering dark secrets that have led to such lethal waves of destruction.
The Inspector Andy Horton crime novels are set against the atmospheric backdrop of the sea in the Solent area of England in Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. They have been hailed in UK, USA and Commonwealth as "exemplary," "multi-layered" and "cleverly plotted" with reviewer, Booklist, claiming that Andy Horton is an "especially good series hero, a likeable fellow with plenty of street smarts and the requisite personal baggage"
Andy Horton is a man very much defined by a tormented past spent primarily in care when his mother disappeared when he was ten. He is an instinctive copper rather than an intellectual one, tough and resilient, but deeply empathetic. His dry sense of humour is the key to his investigative approach. It’s how he keeps people at arm’s length and stays detached from the crimes he investigates. His greatest strength is his ability to put himself in a victim’s shoes, to imagine events from their perspective (even the moments up to their death), making leaps of deduction few would be able to. And he’s most often right.
