‘Terrific... If you don’t know the fine suspense novels of James Hall, this will get you off to a rousing start’ SCOTT TUROW
‘James Hall, the king of Florida noir, delivers across the board with Blackwater Sound. Chock-full of vivid characters, startlingly explosive moments of ultra-violence and seamlessly elegiac prose’ DENNIS LEHANE
‘Hall has always blazed a unique path through the killing fields of crime fiction. Blackwater Sound is another original and his best yet. With beautiful prose and a heavily muscled story, it moves with the grandeur and unpredictability of a hooked marlin’ MICHAEL CONNELLY
‘A gorgeous and compelling novel about the merciless predators both in and above the waters of south Florida; it is all the better in that it offers the return of James Hall’s masterwork, the marvellous Thorn. No writer working today uses language as elegantly as Hall’ ROBERT CRAIS
‘Hall’s descriptions of the Florida Keys, his detailed knowledge of the sea, his fascinating characters and his obvious love of the natural world make this a wonderful reading experience’ JAMES LEE BURKE
Action and suspense in the Florida Keys and Bahamas – in the atmospheric new thriller from the author hailed by Dennis Lehane as ‘the king of Florida noir’.
The Braswells had everything: money, looks and power. But when their eldest son, the family’s shining light, was killed in a freak fishing accident, he took with him a dark secret. Ten years later, in the steamy shallows off the Florida coast, an airliner crashes, killing all aboard. Helping pull corpses from the water, Thorn finds himself drawn into a bizarre conspiracy: someone has developed a high-tech weapon capable of destroying electrical systems in a powerful flash. How are the secretive Braswells and their family-owned company involved? And what does it have to do with the family’s obsessive hunt for the great marlin that killed their golden boy?
Featuring two of his most popular characters, police photographer Alexandra Rafferty and reluctant investigator Thorn, BLACKWATER SOUND is James Hall’s finest thriller yet. Loaded with action and suspense, spiced with humour and featuring some of his most unforgettable villains, it bristles with all the heat and tension of a tropical Florida summer.
