BOOK 4 THE ROYAL HOTEL MURDERS
Perry Jackson and his team are filming a new TV series about wrecks in the Solent and staying at the large and luxurious Royal Hotel on Portsmouth’s seafront. Shortly after they’ve checked in, Jackson receives a series of threatening phone calls telling him to watch his back and you’ve been warned. Horton thinks it’s a publicity stunt to promote the new TV show.
Meanwhile at the Rest Haven Nursing Home, Mrs Kingsway says she’s been assaulted by an intruder, but there’s no sign of a break-in. The staff thinks she’s lost her marbles, but her son wants action from the police.
And now a man in diving gear is found dead in Oldham’s Wharf. Several of his fingers are missing. The pressure is on. Detective Horton’s deep in a web of intrigue, deception and corruption that stretches back into the past. Can he find his way back and stop a killer?

BOOK 5 THE ISLE OF WIGHT MURDERS
On an abandoned golf course, Horton finds a distraught, young woman with a gun in her hand, crouching over one of the derelict bunkers. Then the smell hits him. A dead man lies there. Dressed in walking gear, his body decomposing. The woman with the gun says she’s his sister. The local police think she killed her brother, but Horton’s not so sure.
Then Horton’s boat is broken into and another body is found in a barn. The victim stabbed in the back with a pitchfork.
Horton must race against time to uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.

BOOK 6 THE PORTCHESTER CASTLE MURDERS
It’s Friday the thirteenth and Detective Inspector Andy Horton’s luck is about to run out.
Horton's Harley-Davidson is vandalized, a strange symbol etched into the paintwork. Is it some kind of warning? To make matters worse, Horton’s nit-picking boss, DCI Lorraine Bliss, has returned early from her secondment to HQ. And a convicted murderer out on licence has gone missing, Luke Felton. Horton recognizes the name from a case he worked as a sergeant.
Now a decomposing corpse washes up in Portsmouth harbour. The bloated body is found lying in the thick slimy mud.
Before Horton can get a grip on either case, his phone rings. He doesn’t recognise the number. A voice on the other end gives him an address: Willow Bank, Shore Road, Portchester. Horton knows it. The house belongs to a woman he’d met the day before. And now she’s dead. Her body lies in her windswept garden.
Horton’s got a lot on his plate. Can he connect the dots before anyone else dies?
