The chin tattoo confirms the victim is Māori. The whorls of ink from her lower lip to her chin — the moko — is worn only by Māori women. So, her ethnicity is a given. The mystery of who murdered her and dumped her body in the volcanic rock pool at the base of Mason’s Rock waterfall is DI Nyree Bradshaw’s latest case.


From the strangely unsympathetic parents, to the belligerent boyfriend on home detention for drugs, it seems everyone has something to hide and no one is telling the truth. Then Nyree discovers six-year-old diabetic, Lily Holmes is missing, last seen in the victim's care.

Now, Nyree must now find the killer to save Lily.

She has already failed her own son. She cannot fail this child.


"A truly compelling book, full of atmosphere and with an unforgettable main character" - Elly Griffiths, bestselling author of the Ruth Galloway series.


"Great twists in the end brought the novel to an immensely satisfying conclusion. I see from the back of this book, Lea has other titles to her name and I will be looking for them. But please, Catherine – I would love more from DI Nyree Bradshaw." - T J Ramsay Flaxflower Review

"Lea, the creator of the Elizabeth McClaine series, has cracked the art of keeping reader engaged and guessing." - Jill Nicholas, Northern Advocate

“Catherine Lea's latest thriller, The Water's Dead delivers! The story is fast-paced and full of twists and turns which makes this an unputdownable read!” –Madeleine Eskadahl, Author of Blood on Vines

“Catherine has sensitively interwoven a moving homicide story around a traditional Māori cultural landscape of sacred land and Ancient Kawa Protocols. As an elder, or kaumatua, of The Ngapuhi Tribe of the Far North, the story unfolds and brings back personal profound memories for me.” – Hon Dover Samuels QCM. former MP Te Tai Tokerau Minister of Māori Affairs

"Great story, believable characters and recognisable Kiwi settings. Great for NZ and international audiences." - Lauren Roche, Author of Mila and the Bone Man
