A Body of Water

When a delivery driver stumbles across the dead body of a reclusive author in a remote area within a stone’s throw of the Llyn Brianne dam, his first thoughts are that the elderly man has had a heart attack.

But the knife sticking out of the corpse’s chest tells a different story.

Why would anyone target such a defenseless victim? That’s the first problem DCI Evan Warlow has to solve when he and his team arrive to investigate. But soon, some missing walkers, a secretive cult, and the unwelcome presence of paranormal-hunting podcasters all add to the team’s woes. But the killer is abroad and has already ended one innocent life. If Warlow can’t peel away the layers to get to the rotten heart of the case and quickly, more deaths are sure to follow.

Tick-Tock.
