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 SETTINGPortsmouth 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..
