The Cowes Week Murders (10)

A telephone call from a frantic Sergeant Cantelli to say that his nephew, Johnnie Oslow, is missing cuts short DI Horton’s sailing trip to France.

Summoned back to Cowes on the Isle of Wight, Horton learns that Johnnie, employed by Greek tycoon, Xander Andreadis, has not shown up for racing with one of Andreadis’s sailing teams during Cowes Week, as previously arranged. 

The investigation into Johnnie’s disappearance is ranked low priority by Horton’s boss, DCI Lorraine Bliss, who like others believes that Johnnie has probably got sick of sailing and gone off with a woman.

Cantelli is adamant that is not the case.  Horton agrees.

Ignoring Bliss’s orders they continue their investigations with little to show for it.

Then the charred remains of a body are discovered in one of the disused tunnels at the Hilsea Lines in Portsmouth and things take a very different turn.

Soon the search for a missing person becomes a hunt for a ruthless killer. And this killer is just getting started.

"Really good book which I found very difficult to put down. So many threads and twists and turns. I would really recommend this to anyone to read."

"Another tremendous addition to this superb series. Pauline Rowson continues to spin fiendishly complicated plots that take us up blind alleys and then when we think we've solved it she throws in a red herring. I love it!"

Rod V.

"Great read great author."
