On No Man's Fort with DI Andy Horton in DEAD PASSAGE

It was indeed a case of the boat waiting for no man as it took me out on the Solent on a very wet and windy day to the Victorian No Man's Fort in the aid of research for DI Andy Horton number 14, DEAD PASSAGE, which was published in paperback as an e book and on Amazon Kindle and Kobo in 2018.


No Man's Fort was completed in 1880 built to protect Portsmouth Harbour from the marauding French but like the other Forts was never used for the purpose for which it was built.


Here I am making copious notes, even in the rain! Can you see Andy Horton here? I can.


My sincere thanks to the Solent Forts team and especially to my guide, Craig, who took us around the fort and gave me so much useful information. I came away with lots of inspiration for DI Andy Horton, not to mention a good place to put a body!
DEAD PASSAGE DI Andy Horton mystery number 14

"This book has all the juicy ingredients that make a good story: an historic death of a politician, a daughter who urgently wants to speak to the inspector, as she has ‘something to reveal’ about her father’s death, and also a few interesting characters that keep you guessing about who’s telling the truth…and who has something to hide." BH Living Magazine
A Killing Coast - DI Andy Horton mystery number 7

'Multilayered, twisted, and complex...a surprising conclusion and a satisfying read.' Booklist

Looked to be a great visit and material for DI Horton.
