Description
In the attic of a deserted tenement, the body of a criminal is found hanging with his face horribly disfigured. Investigating officers DI Anderson and DS Costello believe he was a suspect in the decade-old rape and attempted murder of a young student. There are other similar cases on file. But the dead man didn't act alone, he had an accomplice in his crimes, 'Mr Click', who is still on the loose.
When another young woman is brutally attacked, Anderson and Costello realise 'Mr Click' is at work again. And with the killings accelerating in pace, Anderson and Costello are determined to stop him at whatever cost.

Brilliant in twisting the tension tauter with each page * * Guardian * * The terrific cast of characters keep the action and detection compelling * * Time Out * * Gripping, relevant, compelling and laced with trademark Ramsay bite -- Craig Robertson Dark Water is a novel of unnerving precision and narrative weight. Ramsay should be considered alongside McDermid and Rankin as one of the great crime writing Scots * * Crimeshot Magazine * * Ramsay handles her characters with aplomb, the dialogue crackles and the search for the killer has surprising twists and turns * * Observer * *More details
