A 1. 9th- century whaling ship sets sail for the Arctic with a killer aboard in this dark, sharp and highly original tale that grips like a thriller. Behold the man: stinking, drunk, brutal and bloodthirsty, Henry Drax is a harpooner on the Volunteer, a Yorkshire whaling ship bound for the hunting waters of the Arctic Circle. Also aboard for the first time is Patrick Sumner, an ex- army surgeon with a shattered reputation, no money and no better option than to embark as ship's medic on this violent, filthy, ill- fated voyage. In India during the Siege of Delhi, Sumner thought he had experienced the depths to which a man can stoop and imagined he'd find respite on the Volunteer, but now, trapped in the wooden belly of the ship with Drax, he encounters pure evil and is forced to act.

As the true purposes of the expedition become clear, the confrontation between the two men plays out in the freezing darkness of an Arctic winter.

The North Water is his second novel. Behold: one of the finest books of the year.' James Kidd, Independent'Mc. Guire delivers one bravura set- piece after another.. The North Water has, in places, a Conrad- Melville undercurrent, but for the most part it is Dickens's influence that is most keenly felt .. This is a stunning novel, one that snares the reader from the outset and keeps the tightest grip until its bitter end.' Financial Times'Horrifically gripping. Such fine writing might have been lifted from the pages of Herman Melville's Moby- Dick.' Independent on Sunday'Terrific, seamed with pitch black humour and possessed of a momentum that's kept up to the final, unexpected but resoundingly satisfying scene.. Inspired.' Stephanie Cross, Daily Mail'As a storyteller, Mc.

Guire has a sure and unwavering touch, and he has engineered a superbly compelling suspense narrative .. As a stylist, too, Mc. Guire is never less than assured ..
