Publisher's Synopsis
From the author of A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World comes a haunting and suspenseful story of isolation and dread within a small island community.
There's something in the water...
On the edge of the Northern Atlantic lies a remote island. The islanders are an outwardly harmonious community--but all have their own secrets, some much darker than others. And when a strange disorder begins to infect them all, those secrets come to light.
Ferry service fails and contact with the mainland is lost. Rumors begin to swirl as a temporary inconvenience grows into nightmarish ordeal. The fabric of the once tight-knit island is unnervingly torn apart--and whatever the cause, the question soon stops being how or why it happened, but who, if anyone, will survive.
