After wowing readers with The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, Stuart Turton is back with a story of mystery on the high seas in The Devil and the Dark Water. In 1634, the world's greatest detective is imprisoned on a boat that may be doomed to sink, and his only hope for survival lies with his bodyguard Arent, who is charged with figuring out whether the strange incidents occurring on the boat are the work of a demon or a crafty mortal.
