First sentence: Thought you might like this,' Sergeant Cantelli said, placing a brown plastic beaker on Horton's desk. 
Horton stared at the frothy liquid that resembled dirty washing up water and said, ‘Are you trying to poison me?' 
‘It might help keep you awake.' 
‘Doesn't seem to be doing the trick with you.' Horton thought Cantelli looked like something they'd exhumed from Milton cemetery. ‘Sit down before you fall down.'
Description: When a woman, the head teacher of a struggling local school, is found brutally murdered in Langstone Harbour DI Andy Horton is appointed to lead the investigation but not for long if Superintendent Uckfield has his way. Horton is given only a week to find the killer, after that he will be shunted off the case. Horton now has a point to prove as well as a complex murder case to solve. A note was found on the victim, Have you forgotten ME? Along with money wrapped up in a five-pound note and dripping with honey. Is there a clue in 'The Owl and the Pussy-cat' rhyme? Is it simply a senseless murder by an unhinged killer or does someone close to the head have a motive for murder? As Horton delves deeper into the investigation, aided by Sergeant Cantelli, the tension mounts. With the clock ticking Horton is soon forced to take a decision that will put his life on the line . . .
Notes: This is now available in mass market paperback version through Amazon.co.uk. The second in the Inspector Horton Marime Mystery crime series, set on the south coast of England.
