Bleak Water

Disturbing, atmospheric suspense novel from the author of Only Darkness, Silent Playgrounds and Night Angels: Dark, edgy and compelling The Times Beyond the new city centre developments, the old Sheffield canal is overgrown, run-down and deserted. Signs of regeneration creep along its towpaths, including a small, innovative gallery housed in one of the warehouses. But between the renovations its a dark and lonely place the perfect site for an exhibition reworking Brueghels The Triumph of Death. For Elisa Eliot, the curator, the chance to show well-known artist Daniel Flynns work at the gallery is a coup. But when a young womans body is found in the canal, Flynns nightmare images begin to spill out into the real world. Still affected by the murder of her friends daughter four years earlier, Eliza is drawn deep into the violence that seems to surround the gallery. Is this the work of a psychopath or is there a link between present horrors and the tragedy of four years before?
