The Marine Mystery Crime Fiction Series featuring the flawed and rugged DI Andy Horton
A fresh new crime series where the sea becomes the backdrop to murder, treachery, deceit, betrayal, evil and revenge…
"Deserves mention in the same breath as works in the upper echelon of American procedurals (those by Ed McBain or Joseph Wambaugh for example) and their British counterparts, including the work of Peter Robinson and John Harvey. " Booklist
"Andy Horton is an especially good series hero, a likeable fellow with plenty of street smarts and the requisite personal baggage – an abrasive supervisor and an antagonistic soon-to-be ex-wife. Procedural fans who haven’t already read Rowson should be encouraged to do so in the strongest possible terms." Booklist
'Like Ed McBain, Rowson works many subtle variations on the procedural formula (including very interesting relationships between Andy and a couple of his superiors). A definite winner in the crowded field of British procedurals.' Booklist
'Rowson turns out an exemplary procedural with the requisite plot twists, double-crosses and all loose ends tied up neatly in a sailor’s knot.'Kirkus
'A gripping, suspense filled murder case...n entertaining read in an engaging series...' Booklist
'Rowson adds an appealing hero to the British Police Procedural ranks.' Kirkus Reviews
'A strong plot and some nice characterisation and dialogue, which makes this a notch above the average fare out there. Rowson is clearly a crime writer to watch.' AmazonNominate your favourite crime author for the Crime Writers' Association (CWA) Dagger in the Library Award 2012.
