The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton

A mysterious voyage, an impossible murder and a terrifying presence lurking beneath the waves set the stage for The Devil and the Dark Water, an atmospheric historical mystery by Stuart Turton, author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle.

It is 1634, and Samuel Pipps is considered the greatest detective of his time. However, he is being transported from the Dutch East Indies to Amsterdam as a prisoner, accused of a crime that could cost him his life. His loyal bodyguard, Arent Hayes, accompanies him aboard the Saardam, a ship carrying powerful passengers and dangerous secrets.

Before the voyage can reach its destination, strange and disturbing events begin to unfold. Mysterious symbols appear, inexplicable occurrences spread fear among the passengers, and whispers of a demonic presence threaten to turn the journey into a nightmare. When Pipps disappears, Hayes must solve the growing mystery without the help of the brilliant detective he has always relied upon.

As suspicion spreads throughout the ship, every passenger becomes a potential suspect. Combining historical fiction, supernatural suspense and classic detective storytelling, Turton delivers a twist-filled mystery that challenges readers to distinguish superstition from reality.

Perfect for fans of locked-room mysteries, maritime adventures and atmospheric thrillers, The Devil and the Dark Water offers an unforgettable journey into the darkest corners of human nature.
