When naval historian Dr Douglas Spalding is found dead in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard, the Major Crime Team is adamant it is suicide. Detective Inspector Horton is not so sure. Then another body is found in similar circumstances, and Horton is convinced they're looking at murder.

Angry and frustrated at the lack of investigation, Horton goes out on a limb to prove he's right. Whichever way he turns, he finds the deaths have all the hallmarks of a cover-up at the highest level, but who is behind it, and why?

As he gets closer to the truth, someone is determined to prevent it from ever coming out, even if means death.

Suspenseful, Andy has his problems

A really good read. Well depicted characters and wonderful assortment of plots, turns and twists. Excitement when required, and great portrayal of tensions between the friends and foes.
They should make a mini series on the exploits of Andy Horton.

A great procedural murder mystery.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the south coast, once again Portsmouth succumbs to the seedy criminal underworld of murder and intrigue. This is the best book in the series to date, and can not only stand alone as a great read, but is a must for those readers following Andy Horton in his quest for answers to his hidden past. Fast paced from beginning to end and totally gripping, Pauline Rowson can always be relied upon to give us a great story.
Horton is a modern day 'Bergerac' and should definitely be on TV. I can't wait for the next instalment.

Crime writing at its best!

I am a great fan of the wonderful Pauline Rowson. Her crime novels always hit the mark. The plots twist and turn, keeping the reader gripped to the very end. DI Andy Horton is my favourite fictional detective, and Undercurrent is one of his best adventures yet. If there's a petition to get him on TV, just show me where to sign.

As usual, a well constructed plot and excellently written book which keeps you guessing until the last minute. I have never come to the right conclusion on Pauline Rowson's culprits, but !am dying to find out about DI Horton's mum. I really hope she's still alive!
