Publisher Description
In the Cornish coastal village of Porthenev, a storm of blood-soaked violence is brewing...
Escalating acts of sabotage are threatening the livelihoods of local fishermen. Desperate to apprehend the culprit, they turn to private investigator Blake Hollow for help.
A seasoned veteran in wrangling dangerous criminals, Blake still grapples with her own ghosts, but views this case as just another routine assignment. Little does she know, the fishermen of Porthenev are harbouring secrets darker than the ocean. And the deadliest of them all is about to resurface.
When one of the men vanishes without a trace, Blake is unnerved by the nightmarish crime scene left behind in his wake. As she delves deeper into the heart of this once tight-knit community, she discovers the price of keeping silent is paid not just in blood but in a chilling conspiracy that threatens to consume everyone involved.
Now Blake must navigate treacherous waters to solve a mystery unlike any she's encountered before—and stop a sadistic killer with a taste for flesh, who is hellbent on exacting gruesome retribution.
The Dark Below by Malcolm Richards is a gripping and relentless crime thriller that will leave readers on the edge of their seats, craving the next twist in this pulse-pounding tale of suspense and revenge.
Customer Reviews
Unveiling Shadows
A web of secrets and guilt has awakened the darkest side of an apparently peaceful fishing town, blurring the boundaries between admiration and obsession, care and suffocation. Joking and abuse transgress, and everyone seems to have a reason to snap.
Bringing his masterful storytelling skills from 'The Hiding House' (one of my favorite by the author) to 'The Dark Bellow,' Malcolm Richard has crafted a novel with a profound understanding of human fears and desires, interwoven with the richness of Celtic folklore and the beauty of the Cornish coastal landscape.
Engaging thriller
Engaging story with believable characters. Plenty of tension, and the author lets you see (after a while) how and why the authorities were sometimes looking in the wrong direction. There are some pretty graphic scenes, so it may not be for everyone. But as a work of fiction, it pulled me right in. Looking forward to the next book already. I did receive an ARC at no cost, but this is my honest opinion.
Wonderful, favorite author!
Great book as always!
