Hydro (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739149208)

England, 1888. John Edgeland is the heir to an industrial empire, devastated by the loss of his wife and unwilling to face his new responsibilities. Fleeing to an isolated hydropathic hotel in the wilds of Yorkshire, he is subjected to bizarre water treatments and begins to experience even stranger events. Who is the mysterious mutilated girl he rescues from a moor fire, and how is she linked to the sinister, cult-like mill town of Blackmoor?

Polly Hardacre is a chambermaid at the hotel, doing her best to keep her head down and feed her family. When she is called to take on a secret assignment, to care for a sick guest in a long-abandoned room, she sees a way to lift herself out of drudgery. But, just as she begins to discover herself in her new work, she starts to question if she is a nursemaid or a jailer...

Hydro is a Victorian psychological thriller where the cure for your ills might be the very thing that kills you.
