The story behind Inspector Andy Horton FOOTSTEPS ON THE SHORE

You name it Portsmouth, the surrounding harbours, the Solent and the Isle of Wight has it. It also has a very diverse community and tons of history including a Roman castle at Portchester which is one of the settings for the Inspector Andy Horton crime novel FOOTSTEPS ON THE SHORE.


Added to this is the return of Horton’s nit-picking boss, DCI Lorraine Bliss from her secondment at HQ and she’s intent on making Horton’s life as difficult as possible. Someone else also seems set on troubling Horton when he finds a symbol scratched on his Harley Davidson. Horton is under pressure to get results, but things are about to get much worse for the beleaguered detective …
There are many twists and turns in this novel with a hint of international crime behind it but I will say no more. I wouldn’t want to spoil your enjoyment of it.
'Procedural fans who haven’t already read Rowson should be encouraged to do so in the strongest possible terms.' Booklist, Starred Review
'Footsteps on the Shore, is a detective novel in the tradition of Rankin and Harvey. Like Rebus, Rowson’s DI Andy Horton, if not a loose cannon, is a detective who does not always work within the rules.
As with all Rowson’s novels the ending is dramatic and deeply menacing. If you are a fan of traditional detective fiction in a vivid setting that makes you believe that you are there, you will love this one.' Mystery Magazine.
Available in paperback, as an ebook, on Amazon Kindle and on Kobo, and as unabridged audio book narrated by Gordon Griffin.
Also available for loan in libraries in the UK, Commonwealth and the USA.
