Dark Water Book

Reissued with a stunning new package, Caro Ramsay's Anderson & Costello thrillers have been widely recognised as one of the most significant new series in the genre in recent years and Ramsay's utterly unique investigators are ready to become the nation's favourite Scottish cop duo. Dark Water is the third novel in this gripping series. Brilliant in twisting the tension tauter with each page. (Guardian). They call him Mr Click...A bitterly cold February in Glasgow. Hanging from a rope in the attic of a deserted tenement is the body of a criminal believed hiding out on the Costa del Sol these last ten years. His face has been hideously disfigured. Investigating officers DI Anderson and DS Costello believe the dead man to be a suspect in a decade-old case: the rape and attempted murder of a young student. And there are other, similar cases on file. But what has happened to the dead man's accomplice, 'Mr Click'? Then with the discovery of another young woman who was brutally attacked, detectives Anderson and Costello realise that this terrifying psychopath has started working once more. They must use every trick in the book to stop him. For Mr Click has developed a taste for killing. And to satisfy his lust he will kill again and again...Caro Ramsay's Dark Water is Scottish crime writing at its best and takes its reader to the darkest places of the human soul. Praise for Caro Ramsay: Well-drawn characters and a great sense of place set his head and shoulders above most of the competition. (The Times). Among the year's best literary thrillers. (Washington Post). Ramsay handles her characters with aplomb, the dialogue crackles and the search for the killer has surprising twists and turns. (Observer). Caro Ramsay was born in Glasgow and now lives in a village on the west coast of Scotland. This is her third DI Anderson and DS Costello novel, following the critically acclaimed Absolution and Singing to the Dead. The fourth book in the same series, The Blood of Crows, is also released this summer.Read More
