The Dark Below: A Chilling Cornwall Crime Thriller

When sabotage threatens the local fishing fleet, the desperate community turns to private investigator Blake Hollow—on the advice of her estranged father. Taking the case means opening the door to a relationship she’s tried to leave behind, and a past she’s not ready to forgive. But Blake must set her feelings aside to uncover the truth, because this is not the work of a mere vandal.

A sunken trawler and mutilated seabirds are only the beginning. When a fisherman vanishes, leaving behind signs of brutal violence, Blake realises she's tracking someone with a bloody vendetta—and that the fishermen are hiding a deadly secret.

As winter gales batter the shores and dense fog cloaks the empty streets, Blake must hunt a predator whose hunger for revenge has spiralled into something terrifyingly savage. But in this ghost town, where innocence is just an illusion, solving the case could make her the final course of the killer’s twisted feast.

Perfect for fans of Sharon Bolton and Peter May, The Dark Below plunges readers into a maritime nightmare where buried sins and unrelenting fury collide.
