A new kind of misery is coming.

When the Highland Boundary fault rumbles and the rural region of Strathearn experiences its most severe earthquake since records began, Glencruach Estate manager James Melville and local vet Michael McMullan can't help but wonder whether the abnormal growth they've observed in the local animal and plant life is somehow connected.

Then, when the wildlife is decimated and people become sick, Strathearn is locked down. When the sick begin to die, it becomes apparent that the infection gripping the rural area is unlike anything the world has seen before, and a sinister group, seeking to spread this new kind of misery beyond the quarantine zone, emerges.

James and Michael, aided by Michael's sisters – Maria, a geophysicist sent to survey the aftermath of the earthquake, and Julia, an A&E doctor volunteering at the local hospital – find themselves in a race against time to prevent the outbreak from becoming a global pandemic.

Gripping and full of suspense, Water of Sorrow is a fast-paced thriller that will make your heart pound, and will keep you on the edge of your seat.
