Description
Friday the thirteenth begins badly for DI Andy Horton when he wakes to find his Harley has been vandalized and his boss, DCI Lorraine Bliss, has returned early from her secondment to HQ. Then, convicted murderer, Luke Felton, released on licence, is reported missing and a decomposed corpse is washed up in Portsmouth harbour. But before Horton can get a grip on either case, he's called to a house where a woman he'd only met the day before has been brutally murdered. Is missing Luke Felton the prime suspect, or is it his body in the mud of the harbour? Horton is under pressure to get results, but things are about to get much worse for the beleaguered detective.
Reviews / Votes
"Horton presses on to clear up a skein of crime as tangled as one of the harbor's ancient fishing nets. Rowson's latest should please both Andy Horton fans and puzzle aficionados. " Kirkus Reviews; 'This police procedural reminded me in one aspect, of the mysteries by R.D. Wingfield, creator of Jack Frost...a very interesting read, with all the interaction between the different detectives. A very enjoyable read.' Eurocrime; 'Footsteps on the Shore, is a detective novel in the tradition of Rankin and Harvey. Like Rebus, Rowson's DI Andy Horton, if not a loose cannon, is a detective who does not always work within the rules. 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 People Magazine.More details
