SUMMARY:Book Launch: Forbidden Waters by Rob Parker
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate publication of the second in Rob Parker’s Cam Killick series: Forbidden Waters!\n\n\n\nWe are thrilled to celebrate the launch of Rob Parker’s Forbidden Waters on the 15th of January at Manchester Central Library! Rob will be in conversation with Luca Veste\, author of The Bone Keeper. \nDoors: 5.30pm\, starts: 6pm. \nTickets are £4. Admission is free when purchasing a copy of the book in advance. \nAbout Forbidden Waters: \nIt starts with the knife. Found at the bottom of a hidden lake in the Norfolk Broads\, covered in blood and heart tissue so fresh the water hasn’t yet washed it all away. What salvage diver Cam Killick has found is a murder weapon from a very recent crime – but how do you solve a murder without a body? \nThe remoteness of the setting is itself a clue. Only a handful of people know the location of the lake\, let alone how to access it. But no sooner have Cam and DS Claire Rogers started working through this ready-made suspect pool than one of them disappears. \nThe ripples from Cam’s discovery have disturbed a dangerous predator\, one who knows the water even better than Cam himself. The question now is what they want – and how many more people will die before Cam can stop them? \nAbout the author: \nRob Parker is the author of Far From The Tree\, the No. 1 bestselling thriller for Audible Original and the first instalment in the Thirty Miles trilogy\, as well as eight novels for independent publishers. He is the host of both Crime Central Manchester\, a monthly showcase of emerging crime writing talent and blockbuster bestsellers\, and the Blood Brothers podcast. Rob lives in Warrington with his wife\, three children and their dogs\, and was inspired to write The Troubled Deep by years of holidays in the Norfolk Broads – during which he has never\, he is pleased to say\, found a dead body. Forbidden Waters is the second in the Cam Killick series. \nIf you cannot make the event but would like a dedicated copy of the book\, please email events.manchester@blackwell.co.uk or call 0161 274 3331.
