Someone, or something, is playing for the highest stakes: the souls of everyone on board. These are no normal crimes, however, a devil may be loose in the world. With Pipps’ prodigious memory and unsurpassable detective skills out of action, the only recourse is for Hayes to step in and do what he can.
But his inquiries are put on hold when the brutal death of a leper turns out to be the first in a series of mysterious and deadly happenings. His bodyguard, Arent Hayes, is determined to prove him innocent… if he can find out what his friend was guilty of in the first place. The world’s greatest detective, Samuel Pipps, is being transported back to Amsterdam from Batavia (Indonesia), kept imprisoned in the dank depths of the ship for crimes unknown. He couldn’t reach for a memory without drawing blood doing it. The past was filled with sharp things, he’d said. The Devil and the Dark Water is a Sherlockian masterpiece, darkly atmospheric and twisty as hell.
