Product details

The Devil and the Dark Waters by Stuart Turton... In 1634, Samuel Pepys, the world's greatest detective, is to be taken to Amsterdam to be executed for a crime no one knows for sure. His loyal bodyguard, Arent Hayes, travels with him, determined to prove his friend's innocence. As soon as the ship carrying Samuel sets sail, a series of strange events begins, so mysterious that even the Devil is suspected! Surely, only the Devil himself could be responsible. A person dies twice, a strange symbol appears on the sail, cattle suddenly die, and passengers are marked with signs of death. With his friend imprisoned, Arent has no choice but to unravel the ever-tangled mystery, a mystery where the passengers' pasts and presents intertwine, threatening to sink the ship and kill everyone on board.
