On location with DI Andy Horton in Fatal Catch now re-issued in paperback and as an ebook

Horton's patch is Portsmouth and the Solent across to the Isle of Wight and into the harbours of Langstone, Fareham and sometimes Chichester. The Solent offers up every kind of sailing vessel you could wish for from giant container ships to ferries, naval ships to leisure craft, fishing boats and even a regular hovercraft service. It also offers up some rather gruesome findings as Horton investigates in FATAL CATCH.

Here are some photographs of the locations used in Fatal Catch. (Click on the images to enlarge them)

Horton is called out to examine a gruesome find by two fishermen: a human hand. Who does the hand belong to? Where is the rest of the body? Who put the hand inside the container and why? Is it the hand of missing criminal Alfie Wright?

Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth renamed Oyster Quays in the DI Andy Horton mysteries.




One of the fishermen who found the hand, Clive Westerbrook, has a boat at the top of Portsmouth Harbour in Fareham Quay and Horton's investigations take him and Sergeant Cantelli there.





When Westerbrook goes missing and his fishing companion goes into hiding, Horton begins to wonder if the fishing haul was accidental. Horton is determined to get to the bottom of the case, but the deeper he digs, the more lies and secrets he uncovers.

His investigations take him to Thorney Island in bordering county of West Sussex.
