In the nineteenth century, Shakespeares manuscript is discovered at an isolated former priory, now a clinic for those who cannot sleep. In 1920s Venice, private investigator Honora Feldman investigates a baffling case of theft and murder within the British expatriate community - with the Gothic manuscript at its heart. Finally, in 1940s California, Ken Kourian discovers that a serial killer is recreating the murders in The Waterfall, the companion volume to his friend Oliver Tookes The Turnglass. The Waterfall is an ambitious, immersive and highly commercial mystery that confirms Gareth Rubin as one of the most original crime writers working today.
