A woman vanishes from a remote lake in Cumbria. All that's left behind are her abandoned clothes, a ringing phone, and a stretch of dark water that won't give her back.
And everyone here knows that Sleddale Tarn keeps its silence.
Moses Crow knows this place too. He grew up here, before he went to prison, before he became the kind of man who scans every room for the nearest exit. When the case reignites rumours about a girl who disappeared in the local caves, Moses is summoned home to help the family who raised him keep the police at arm's length. As the search intensifies, so does the question he's been avoiding for decades: what really happened here, all those years ago?
And what will it cost to drag the family's secrets into the light?
Atmospheric, morally complex and impossible to put down, The Drowned Girl is a psychological crime thriller set against the wild landscapes of northern England, perfect for readers of Stuart Macbride, Matt Brolly and JM Dalgliesh.
