2000s: A woman is found murdered in Langstone Harbour, Portsmouth
When a woman is found murdered in Langstone Harbour, DI Andy Horton is assigned to the case but not for long if Superintendent Uckfield has his way. Horton is given just a week to find the killer before being shunted off the case. With the clock ticking Horton is soon forced to take a decision that will put his life on the line . .
Set against the visually strong, unique, vibrant, diverse and atmospheric backdrop of the sea in the Solent area of Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight on the South Coast of England. Horton’s investigations take him across the Solent and into the harbours of Langstone and Chichester and its surrounding coastal towns.
This is where the main character lives. On the threshold of the Solent -it’s the most relaxed atmosphere along the Portsmouth coast apparently. Maybe not for Horton, but it’s his escape from his gruesome cases.
It is well known in real life for being a hideaway from the busy cruising grounds of the Solent in general
Head round Eastney Peninsula and within 15 minutes you are in the Solent, ready for day trips to the Isle of Wight or further afield.
Normally this harbour offers more a more sheltered retreat. Not in this book!
