Bad Waters Run Deep

The water remembers. It remembers every offering, every death, every prayer left unanswered.

Long before the Norman conquest, a river god ruled the valley of Syndercombe—a spirit of blessing and blood, sustained by devotion. When the Christians came, they built churches and walled the old god away. But gods don’t die; they wait.

Centuries later, the valley was drowned to build a reservoir, burying its church, its graves, and the restless war between faiths. Now, as drought cracks the land and bodies rise from the depths, something ancient has awoken.

Lorne Turner, scarred soldier and reluctant seer, comes to investigate the violence that follows—a rash of possessions, drownings, and madness. What he finds is a feud older than history: a vengeful pagan deity and the spirit of the Norman knight who sought to bind it. Caught between their struggle, Lorne, Heather, and Ella are drawn into a maelstrom of grief and fury that threatens to consume them all.

Each haunting stirs the war he carries inside. To save the living, Lorne must face the beast behind his eyes and learn why bad waters run deepest where the human heart breaks.

Bad Waters Run Deep is book five in the Lorne Turner supernatural mystery thrillers—an atmospheric, soul-dark thriller of ancient faith, broken families, and the ghosts of wars that never end.
