Brutal Arctic voyage; a clash of savagery and survival.

If you're drawn to the raw edges of human nature and harrowing tales of survival, "The North Water" will plunge you into an abyss where morality wrestles with brutality. McGuire pairs a deeply flawed anti-hero with a disgraced ex-surgeon in a setting that's as merciless as the characters themselves—creating an intense, atmospheric narrative that's difficult to put down. For a story that's chilling in more ways than one, this book will not disappoint.

Description

A ship sets sail with a killer on board . . . 1859. A man joins a whaling ship bound for the Arctic Circle. Having left the British Army with his reputation in tatters, Patrick Sumner has little option but to accept the position of ship's surgeon on this ill-fated voyage. But when, deep into the journey, a cabin boy is discovered brutally killed, Sumner finds himself forced to act. Soon he will face an evil even greater than he had encountered at the siege of Delhi, in the shape of Henry Drax: harpooner, murderer, monster . . .
