Meet DI Andy Horton in this bestselling mystery. The Solent area of Portsmouth might be pretty, but the criminals certainly arenβt.
Please note this was previously published as Footsteps on the Shore.
Itβs Friday the thirteenth and Detective Inspector Andy Hortonβs luck is about to run out.
His Harley-Davidson is vandalized, a strange symbol etched into the paintwork. Is it some kind of warning?
To make matters worse, Hortonβs nit-picking boss, DCI Lorraine Bliss, has returned early from her secondment to HQ.
And a convicted murderer out on licence has gone missing. Luke Felton. Horton recognizes the name from a case he worked as a sergeant.
Now a decomposing corpse washes up in Portsmouth harbour. The bloated body is found lying in the thick slimy mud.
Before Horton can get a grip on either case, his phone rings. He doesnβt recognize the number. A voice on the other end gives him an address: Willow Bank, Shore Road, Portchester.
Horton knows it. The house belongs to a woman heβd met the day before. And now sheβs dead. Her body lies in her windswept garden.
Hortonβs got a lot on his plate. Can he connect the dots before anyone else dies?
