Description
A ship sets sail for the Arctic Circle in 1859, carrying a man with a troubled past. Patrick Sumner has left the British Army with his reputation in tatters and is forced to accept a position as ship's surgeon on this ill-fated voyage. As the journey progresses, a brutal murder takes place, and Sumner finds himself drawn into a desperate struggle for survival against a monstrous killer. The North Water is a gripping tale of suspense and horror, set against the dark backdrop of 19th-century whaling expeditions. With its masterful storytelling and assured writing style, this novel will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
