The story behind Inspector Andy Horton FOOTSTEPS ON THE SHORE

 

Locations inspire me. I’m always on the look out for a good place to put a body - a fictional one I hasten to add. I’m very fortunate to live in a coastal area which is extremely diverse and offers up all kinds of intriguing places for bodies, from bays, beaches and boatyards to shores, ships and shipwrecks, coast, coves, ferries and frogmen.

You name it Portsmouth, the surrounding harbours, the Solent and the Isle of Wight has it including a Roman castle at Portchester. And it is the latter that is featured in FOOTSTEPS ON THE SHORE along with the Hayling Coastal Path and the Hard at Portsmouth.

"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.
