Published

Some legacies are built on lies. Some truths are worth killing for. And some depths are best left unexplored.

When three urban explorers vanish into the abandoned tin mines of Wheal Prosperity, Detective Inspector Rowan Penhallow faces a race against time—and rising water—to bring them home alive.

The annual Miners’ Remembrance Day should be a time of quiet reflection for this remote Devon community, but the discovery of one explorer’s body at the mine entrance, skull crushed and positioned like a warning, turns celebration into tragedy. Two victims remain missing somewhere in the miles of flooded tunnels beneath the moor.

As rain threatens to flood the lower levels permanently, Rowan must descend into the claustrophobic darkness with her loyal Jack Russell Buddy and the reluctant DS Marcus Trewe. In the tunnels where miners once listened for the warning knocks of mythical spirits, Rowan must distinguish between legend and truth, accident and murder, before the past buries its secrets—and the remaining victims—forever.

For fans of Ann Cleeves‘ SHETLAND series and the atmospheric mysteries of Elly Griffiths, Rachel McLean and L J Ross, THE DEPTHS BELOW plunges readers into a claustrophobic world where Devon’s mining heritage conceals deadly modern crimes.
