Description
A troubled young man, a seven million dollar fortune, and a murder at sea...
From New York Times bestselling author Casey Sherman comes a gripping contemporary true crime narrative for everyone fascinated by the Murdaugh murders, about Nathan Carman, who was found floating on a raft in the North Atlantic and was later accused of murdering his mother to gain access to his family's fortune.
The sun’s reflection danced atop the choppy waters 115 nautical miles south of Martha’s Vineyard as the gigantic freighter Orient Lucky, weighed down by tons of iron and metal scrap materials, sailed over the 9,000 foot deep Alvin Canyon, better known to mariners as the graveyard of the North Atlantic, when the captain spotted a small life raft floating in the water. On the raft was amateur fisher Nathan Carman, who claimed to have gone out for a fishing trip with his mother when his boat sank seven days earlier. But Carman was in remarkably good shape for being lost at sea for a week, and holes soon began to appear in his story. The mysterious death of Carman’s multi-millionaire grandfather months before had made his mother a wealthy woman. And now that she was missing and presumed dead, Carman stood to inherit a massive amount of money. In May 2023, federal prosecutors charged him with the murders of his grandfather and his mother, and he died of apparent suicide in prison in June 2023.
Advance Praise
"Bestseller [Casey] Sherman delivers a riveting true crime tale." — Publishers Weekly
"What I most admire about Casey Sherman is that he’s more than a writer. He’s also an outstanding investigative journalist, and he uses these skills to great effect in bringing this mind-boggling case to life. Blood in the Water is a twisty true crime narrative of greed, suspicion, and revenge, taking us from the high seas to the mansion of an enormously wealthy family. Compelling and cinematic, it keeps you guessing about the complicated family at the heart of this saga until the very last page. And it shows us that no matter how sophisticated our technology becomes, we can never have all the answers about what happens behind closed doors." —Shawn Cohen, New York Times bestselling author of College Girl, Missing
"Blood in the Water is utterly immersive. Casey Sherman is a master true crime storyteller. Like always, he brings characters to life which makes it hard to tear yourself away from the page!" —Zibby Owens, host of Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books, best-selling author of Blank
"Blood in the Water is a book for every true crime fan’s ‘to be read’ pile…though you won’t want to wait to read it! The tautly woven narrative showcases Sherman’s lyrical writing style and formidable research skills, guaranteeing a deep dive into family drama and depravity that’s nearly impossible to turn away from. Sherman is at the top of his game!" —Kristin Dilley, co-host, Mind Over Murder podcast
