Scotland Yard were frequently called in to
investigate murder cases around the
UK in the 1950s so rather than have the novel (and series) rooted in
London this meant I
could move my detective around the country to help solve coastal
crimes. I wanted to feature the sea in my crime novels - my trademark
or brand, as all my novels are set against the backdrop of the sea -
so I created a character with an intimate knowledge of the sea, a former
Merchant Seaman, Inspector Alun Ryga.
From the first I didn't want to make Ryga an action hero like Art Marvik. I also sought to differ him from DI Andy Horton, an instinctive copper with lots of personal baggage, intuitive, rugged and flawed with a deep sense of justice. Neither did I want someone who had been hailed as a war hero in the traditional sense, but instead a quiet, unseen hero. I chose, therefore, to make Ryga a former German prisoner-of-war.'

of Portland, Dorset to investigate the murder of a man found in the
isolated Church Ope Cove. DEATH IN THE COVE is also available as an
