About the author

Adventure, mystery and heroes have always fascinated and thrilled me, that and my love of the sea has led me to create my exciting and gripping range of crime novels. 

I am the author of twenty-three crime novels - fifteen featuring the rugged and flawed Portsmouth detective, Inspector Andy Horton; four in the mystery thriller series featuring Art Marvik, the troubled former Royal Marine Commando now an undercover investigator for the UK's National Intelligence Marine Squad (NIMS),  two standalone thrillers, the award winning, IN COLD DAYLIGHT and IN FOR THE KILL and the 1950 set mystery series featuring Scotland Yard detective, Inspector Alun Ryga, who makes his debut in DEATH IN THE COVE with his second investigation DEATH IN THE HARBOUR.

"Gripping crime novels full of twists and turns, multi-layered, compelling."

"Pauline Rowson is one of the most talented crime and thriller writers in the UK. By choosing locations and plot lines that are unique to her 'marine mysteries' she has set herself apart from the tried and tested formulae within the genre." The Book Depository

My crime novels have been highly acclaimed in the UK, USA and Commonwealth.  They have been translated into several languages.  Multi-layered, fast-paced, and compelling, they are full of twists and turns and are played out against the dramatic and powerfully evocative British marine landscape of the south coast of England.

They are  published in hardcover, paperback, ebook, on Amazon Kindle and on Kobo and some are also available in large print and in audio book. They are also available on loan from libraries. 

I am a member of the Crime Writers' Association and the Society of Authors.
