Beschreibung

Blake's A Dark Anatomy has been called "impressive" (Publishers Weekly) and "a solid winner" (Booklist) and Dark Waters, the second book in the Cragg & Fidelis series, will leave readers hungry for morePreston, 1741. The drowning of drunken publican Antony Egan is no surprise-even if it comes as an unpleasant shock to coroner Titus Cragg, whose wife was the old man's niece. But he does his duty to the letter, and the inquest's verdict is accidental death. Meanwhile the town is agog with rumour and faction, as the General Election is only a week away and the two local seats are to be contested by four rival candidates. But Cragg's close friend, Dr. Luke Fidelis, finds evidence to cast doubt on the events leading to Egan's demise. Soon suspicions are further roused when a well-to-do farmer collapses and it appears he was in town on political business. Is there a conspiracy afoot? The Mayor and Council have their own way of imposing order, but Cragg is determined not to be swayed by their pressure. With the help of Fidelis's scientific ingenuity the true criminals are brought to light.

But this fateful evening something will change, and Callan will find himself at the heart of a murder, and DCI Kelso Strang finds himself at the heart of the investigation.

    Since my divorce, women have served a solitary purpose for me. The last thing I needed in my life was the headache of a relationship. I had no time or energy for anyone other than my son and my club. 
     
     
     
    But when a chance encounter with my son's teacher turned into something I didn't expect, I tossed aside all my reservations and took a chance. 
     
     
     
    I should've kept my distance. I should've listened when she told me she had doubts about us, suspicions which she was yet to find out were justified, and let her walk away. 
     
     
     
    When our situation with the club heated up, posing a threat to everyone I knew, I could've convinced myself being without her was the best choice. But I was selfish and refused to picture my life without her. 
     
     
     
    Will my decision to keep her close put her further in danger, exposing her to a life she never asked for? 
     
     
     
    And would she be able to find it in her heart to forgive me if my fear ever came true? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
