Tide of Death: An Inspector Andy Horton Mystery: An Inspector Andy Horton Crime Novel (1): No. 1 (DI Andy Horton Mysteries) - Softcover

'Rowson adds an appealing hero to the British procedural ranks.' Kirkus' "Andy Horton is an especially good series hero, a likeable fellow with plenty of street smarts and the requisite personal baggage - an abrasive supervisor and an antagonistic soon-to-be ex-wife. Procedural fans who haven't already read Rowson should be encouraged to do so in the strongest possible terms." Booklist 'Hoist the sales for DI Andy Horton and his sidekick Barney Cantelli. A series with a fair wind behind it and destined to go far.' Amy Myers 'A gripping read.'Yachts and Yachting Monthly 'Rowson's marine mystery series can do for the Solent what Inspector Morse did for Oxford.' Daily Echo 'A good quality domestic thriller. Strong plot and nice characterisation and dialogue. A notch above the average fare out there. Rowson is clearly a crime writer to watch. Tide of Death is a chance to catch her early.' www.amazon.com

It is DI Andy Horton's second day back in Portsmouth CID after being suspended for eight months. Whilst out running in the early morning he trips over the battered, naked body of a man. PC Evans has been stabbed the night before, the DCI is up before a promotion board and Sergeant Cantelli is having problems with his fifteen year old daughter. But, Horton's mind is on other things not least of which is trying to prove his innocence after being accused of rape. Beset by personal problems and aided by Cantelli, Horton sets out to find a killer who will stop at nothing to cover his tracks. As he gets closer to the truth, and his personal investigations start to uncover dark secrets that someone would rather not have exposed, he risks not only his career but also his life.
