Blood in the Water: The Untold Story of a Family Tragedy

  • Edgartown Books 44 Main Street Edgartown, MA, 02539 United States (map)

With NYT bestselling author Casey Sherman.

When Nathan Carman, a young man with a complicated past, is miraculously rescued from a lifeboat bobbing in the unforgiving North Atlantic, questions swirl about the fate of his mother, who is presumed to have drowned when their fishing boat sank. Nathan is in remarkably good shape for being lost at sea for a week, and his account of what exactly happened out there on the waves raises questions from family members and law enforcement. Nathan’s story of a fishing trip gone awry doesn’t quite add up, and the suspicion mounts. The mysterious murder of Nathan’s multi-millionaire grandfather a few years before had made Nathan’s mother an extremely wealthy woman. With a seven-million-dollar fortune at stake, did Nathan commit the ultimate betrayal? Or is there more to this tragic tale than meets the eye?

Casey Sherman is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Boston Globe bestselling author of seventeen books including The Finest Hours (now a major motion picture starring Chris Pine and Casey Affleck), and Patriots Day (now an acclaimed motion picture starring Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Bacon). Sherman’s 2023 true crime bestseller, Helltown: The Untold Story of a Serial Killer on Cape Cod, is now in development as a limited television series for Amazon Studio. Sherman has appeared on more than 100 TV and radio programs and is a contributing writer for TIME Magazine, Esquire, The Washington Post, The Daily Beast, and more. He lives in Marshfield, MA.
