The mystery of the man in a pinstriped suit found dead in an isolated cove
'The
clues are there, but I followed the red herring and didn’t guess the
murderer. Will you? Don’t miss this first book in what is sure to be a
first-class series. Whilst the murderer is unmasked there are left some
tempting hooks for the next book. Highly recommended.' Mystery People
Magazine.

On the crime scene with DI Andy Horton in DEAD PASSAGE
DEAD PASSAGE (14) in the DI Andy Horton series of crime novels is set on Horton’s CID patch, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. It is locations that often inspire me and with this crime novel
while three locations inspired me the idea for DEAD PASSAGE also
occurred to me while I was travelling on the Wightlink ferry, the St
Clare, from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight one day.
A mysterious telephone call sends Horton on a complex and twisted investigation into the death of a local politician twelve years ago and uncovers a trail of lies, secrets and revenge with roots deep in the past.

November 2019 will see me busy finishing revisions on the second in the Inspector Ryga 1950 set mystery series.
