From the internationally bestselling author of The Turnglass comes a beguiling and intricately constructed mystery spanning four centuries and four distinct crime traditions - from Shakespearean murder mystery and nineteenth-century Gothic to Golden Age detection and 1940s American noir.
The novel begins with the last testament of William Shakespeare, as he investigates the real-life murder of his friend and fellow playwright Christopher Marlowe.
In the nineteenth century, Shakespeare’s manuscript is discovered at an isolated former priory, now a clinic for those who cannot sleep.
In 1920s Venice, private investigator Honora Feldman investigates a baffling case of theft and murder within the British expatriate community - with the Gothic manuscript at its heart.
Finally, in 1940s California, Ken Kourian discovers that a serial killer is recreating the murders in The Waterfall, the companion volume to his friend Oliver Tooke’s The Turnglass.
The Waterfall is an ambitious, immersive and highly commercial mystery that confirms Gareth Rubin as one of the most original crime writers working today.
