The Drowning Ground

James Marrison
3.73/5 (141 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
A man is found dead near his home with a pitchfork through his neck. When DCI Guillermo Downes is called to the scene he realises the victim is well known to him.

Seven years earlier, Downes made a promise to the families of two missing girls that he would find their daughters. Although cleared, the dead man had been a suspect in their disappearance. And as the ripples from his death spread through the local community there appears to be fresh hope that the detective might finally make good on his promise.

But as Downes, tormented by his own troubled past, pursues the case alongside a new partner, Sergeant Graves, it soon becomes clear to them both that there’s a darkness at the heart of the investigation more appalling than either could ever have imagined. As past and present connect ever more closely, Downes and Graves are forced to confront a terrible truth that lies just beneath the surface.

Like hit TV series Broadchurch, James Marrison’s brilliant debut, The Drowning Ground, offers a rich, chilling, gripping immersion into of the secrets and lies within a small, damaged community, and marks the arrival of an exciting new crime writing talent.
