Synopsis

Horrific bereavement has forced Detective Inspector Persephone Sheepwool to leave London and make a new life on the remote North Norfolk coast. But horror is never far behind, as she discovers when a body is found at a museum in a decaying clifftop mansion whose shadowy staff is dedicated to discovering the secrets of the sea. Investigating the death, Sheepwool finds that some secrets are probably best left submerged. Trouble is, even the most deeply submerged secrets have a nasty way of oozing to the surface... "If you like a book with an atmosphere so thick that you can cut it with a knife, this is one for you" —Brian Clegg, author of Xenostorm Rising "Henry Gee may just have invented a new genre—not Science Fiction but Science Gothick" —John Gribbin, author of In Search of Schrödinger's Cat "This Gothic novel is a cracking good story, with an intricate and unpredictable plot. It starts with a death—is it murder or misadventure?—and more deaths follow" —Frank Norman in Mill Hill Essays "This novel is definitely Gothic, very Gothic, downright Gothic" —Pat Shipman, author of The Man Who Found The Missing Link and The Animal Connection
