Meet DI Andy Horton. He’s a risk-taking Harley-Davidson-riding detective who doesn’t always play by the rules . . . which often lands him in trouble with his bosses.

Please note this was previously published as Fatal Catch.

Detective Inspector Andy Horton is called out to Oyster Quays Marina to examine a gruesome catch by two fishermen: a blackened human hand. The rest of the body is nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, a violent criminal is missing. Alfie Wright attacked David Jewson, a family man and bus driver in his forties, and was released on bail before going MIA. Could the blackened hand belong to Wright?

Then Horton receives a surprising email from Dr Carolyn Grantham from the Centre for the Study of Missing Persons. Dr Grantham is looking into the disappearance of five adults and examining how they were reported in the media. She wants to meet Horton to talk about his missing mother.

Assailed by doubts both in his personal and professional life, Horton desperately tries to keep his emotions under control and his focus on his work. His instincts tell him to trust no one and believe nothing.

This absolutely gripping detective mystery is perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Joy Ellis, Rachel McLean, Helen H. Durrant, Angela Marsons, Elly Griffiths, Karin Slaughter, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

THE DETECTIVE
DI Andy Horton’s mum walked out on him when he was a child and he grew up in children’s home. Now he lives onboard his yacht in Southsea Marina. He rides a Harley-Davidson and never wears a suit or tie — unless it’s to go to court. He’s an instinctive copper and a man of contrasts, which often lands him in trouble with his bosses. He has a desperate need to belong, and yet is always just on the outside. Self-contained, afraid to show his feelings, but he’s a risk-taker that seeks justice.

THE SETTING
Portsmouth boasts a vibrant waterfront, a diverse multicultural population, an international port, a historic dockyard, and is home of the Royal Navy. Portsmouth Harbour is one of the busiest in the world — and one of the best places to hide a body, it seems. Set against the backdrop of the sea, the Solent area of Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight is every detective’s worst nightmare. The sea is ever-changing and often the best clues get swept away by the tide.
