DARK WATERS is the spectacular new novel from G. R. Halliday, set in the Scottish Highlands, perfect for fans of Stephen King and Ann Cleeves. DI Monica Kennedy returns to find a serial killer.

'Peppered with revelations that will keep you reading into the night' Yrsa Sigurðardóttir, author of the Freyja and Huldar series
THREE MISTAKES. TWO MURDERS. ONE MORE VICTIM TO GO . . .

Annabelle speeds along a deserted mountain road in the Scottish Highlands, suddenly forced to swerve. The next thing she remembers is waking up in a dark, damp room.

Scott is camping in the Scottish woodlands when he hears a scream. He starts to run. Scott is never seen again.

Meanwhile DI Monica Kennedy has been called to her first Serious Crimes case in six months - a dismembered body has been found, abandoned in a dam. When another victim surfaces, Monica knows she is on the hunt for a ruthless killer; but her own dark past isn't far behind.

About the author

G. R. Halliday

G.R. Halliday was born in Edinburgh and grew up near Stirling in Scotland. He spent his childhood obsessing over the unexplained mysteries his father investigated, which has proved excellent inspiration for From the Shadows. The book was shortlisted for the McIlvanney Debut Prize 2019. G.R. Halliday now lives in the rural Highlands outside of Inverness, where he is able to pursue his favourite pastimes of mountain climbing and swimming in the sea, before returning home to his band of semi-feral cats. Dark Waters is his second novel.

Praise for Dark Waters

G. R. Halliday has created a novel as dark, gripping and atmospheric as the Scottish scenery it inhabits

Gordon Brown, author of <i>Deepest Wounds</i> on <i>From the Shadows</i>

A ravenous read.

Morgan Cry

A gothic horror set in an ancient landscape.

Allan Martin

G. R. Halliday takes us beneath the surface of the picturesque to pick out the tendrils of evil.

Allan Martin

A dark tale - as grim as it is gripping.
