A remote lake; a unique forest; a close community. How could anything terrible happen in such a place?

Adam Turner is an investigative journalist plagued by the memory of a girl who vanished from the town where he grew up. When he is asked to look into a suspicious car accident in which three students were killed, he sees a chance to exorcise the demons that have haunted him since his youth.

Past and present rapidly and painfully collide as Adam finds himself in conflict with the friend who once betrayed him and becomes embroiled in a classic love triangle. Amid the rugged landscape of the fells and the surrounding forests the tension escalates, breeding violence...

"'Still Water' grapples subtly with the idea that, even with murder, things are rarely what they seem."
