The Rat Island Murders (14)

Five skeletons are unearthed on Rat Island, an uninhabited island owned by the Ministry of Defence. Among them are the remains of a woman dubbed ‘Quintessa’ by the detectives, who was murdered sometime in the 1980s.

Then Horton receives a mysterious phone call from Adele Goldsby, the daughter of a Portsmouth politician who died in suspicious circumstances.  She says she has something important she wants to tell Horton and that they must meet on the Wightlink ferry — urgently.  But Adele doesn’t show up. She is nowhere to be found. What was she going to tell him?

Horton suspects the Goldsby and Quintessa cases are somehow linked. Now all he has to do is convince his bosses . . .

What readers say…

“DI Andy Horton always goes the extra mile in his work much to his superiors frustration, but he usually turns out to be right.” Barb D.

“Another great read. The author, Pauline Rowson, certainly knows what her readers expect of her. This story is full of mystery, action, and complications as Andy and his team get lost among the clues to so many murders.” Maggie L

“A page turner ‘til the end, it is a convoluted story of love, a father’s unwillingness to give it, blackmail and multiple murders.” Kindle Customer

“Intricate plot and a very good read. I gobbled this one up. If you like British Crime this is an outstanding series.” Margo
