When it comes to death, The Waterman is no everyday killer. But then again, Daniel Jacquot is not your average run of the mill detective, either. Daniel Jacquot frequently makes jokes that the reason that he joined the police force was so that he could make a living and continue to play rugby.

Daniel played for France and even won the victory try when playing in a Five Nations final that was held against the English. It has been nearly two decades later and he is still getting the recognition and the credit for that victory. However, some things have changed in the process.

Now Daniel is working as a chief inspector, and is working homicide with the judiclaire of Marseilles. Tracking down killers is not the same as rugby, but what they have in common is that they are both games that the detective is able to understand.

In addition, Marseilles is also the home ground of Jacquot. Here in the city by the sea a killer has come onto the field of play. He has now drugged, raped, and drowned three young ladies. Daniel Jacquot is assigned to the case.

He has a new partner, a body count that is going up, and a three word tattoo that he can work with. Still, it’s enough to make a start on, and the detective gets closer and closer to getting the methodical murderer. The press are now calling him The Waterman.

Jacquot is going to have to work quickly if he wants to catch this killer, or the body count is only going to go up. Can the detective get some of his best work done in time to put a criminal behind bars? Find out by reading this suspenseful and atmospheric mystery for yourself!
