Next Tuesday, on 3 May, I will be on the Book Programme on PortsmouthLive TV talking to Sally Tickner about my DI Andy Horton crime novels , and the latest crime fiction books in the marine mystery series of police procedurals including Footsteps on the Shore , Blood on the Sand and Dead Man's Wharf .  Portsmouth is  DI Andy Horton's patch and the series is based around the south coast city of Portsmouth, the Solent area and the Isle of Wight.
