THE RULES

2. Do your research
3. Trust no one
4. Run for your life
Harriet Reed is newly engaged to Edward Holbeck, the heir to an extremely powerful American family.
When Edward’s father hands her a tape of a book he’s been working on, she is desperate to listen.
But as she presses play, it’s clear that this isn’t a novel. It’s a confession to murder.
Feeling isolated and confused, Harriet must work out if this is all part of a plan to test her loyalty. Or something far darker.
Because this might be a game to the Holbeck family - but games can still be deadly.
READY OR NOT, HERE THEY COME . . .

DA Agency welcomes Catherine Steadman
March 2017
We are absolutely thrilled to welcome new talent Catherine Steadman to the Darley Anderson Agency!
Her novel, Something In The Water, is an unpredictable and darkly funny debut, with an utterly compelling voice.
Kate Miciak from Bantam Bell snapped up the US rights at auction and said, ‘From the opening sentence to its final gorgeous revelation, I was enthralled. The vitality and intelligence of this novel’s voice, the insidious spirals of its ingenious plotting, the assurance which with Catherine leads us through—I read the pages in one greedy gulp…and then couldn’t stop obsessing about it.’
Italian translation rights were pre-empted with Swedish rights sold and German under offer.
Catherine is an Laurence Olivier Award nominated actress and writer based in North London. She is known for her roles in Downton Abbey and Tutankhamun, starring alongside Sam Neill, as well as shows including The Inbetweeners, The Tudors, and Fresh Meat.
