Four men put Edmond Dantès in the ground while his heart was still beating - a jealous rival, a false friend, a coward, and a magistrate who burned the letter that would have freed him. They sewed him into a sack, and gave him to the sea, and told themselves it was finished.
It was not.
Fourteen years later something climbs out of the water off the Château d'If with their names in its mouth. It does not shout. It does not hurry. It arrives at each proud house as a gift - a stranger, a benefactor, a Count from nowhere - and it stays, and it waits, and it lets each family discover, coffin by coffin, what it has let inside its doors.
Alexandre Dumas wrote the greatest revenge ever told. Beverly McLeod asks the question the story was always shaped around and never dared to name: what if the drowned man never came back alive?
Volume One of a two-volume gothic-horror reimagining of The Count of Monte Cristo. The dead are patient. The tide is coming in.
