The Suffocating Sea by Pauline Rowson
DI Horton is called to investigate a suspicious fire on board a boat, but as soon as he arrives at the marina he experiences a premonition so strong that it's almost audible. As he views the charred remains of the dead man he knows instinctively that this investigation will be like no other, and he's right. Soon Horton is forced to confront the past, not just the victim' past, but the mystery surrounding his mother's disappearance over thirty years ago. As the pieces of a long ago puzzle begin to unravel, it soon becomes clear to Horton that this is one case someone is determined he should never solve - masterminded by a dangerous adversary who will stop at nothing to prevent the truth from coming out...
"A gripping, suspense-filled murder case, an entertaining read in an engaging series" Booklist: "The Harley Davidson-riding, boat-dwelling Horton is a fascinating man to get to know, and his thoughtful approach to detection is a pleasure to read." Publishers Weekly: "A detective novel in the tradition of Rankin and Harvey." Mystery People Magazine
Adventure, mystery and heroes have always fascinated and thrilled Pauline, that and her love of the sea has led her to create her exciting and gripping range of crime novels. Pauline Rowson is the author of twenty-two crime novels - fifteen featuring the rugged and flawed Portsmouth detective, Inspector Andy Horton; three in the mystery thriller series featuring Art Marvik, the troubled former Royal Marine Commando now an undercover investigator for the UK's National Intelligence Marine Squad (NIMS), two standalone thrillers, the award winning, In Cold Daylight and In For the Kill and the 1950 set mystery series featuring Scotland Yard detective, Inspector Alun Ryga. Her crime novels have been highly acclaimed in the UK, USA and Commonwealth. They have been translated into several languages. Multi-layered, fast-paced, and compelling, they are full of twists and turns and are played out against the dramatic and powerfully evocative British marine landscape of the south coast of England.
