Book description
Dr Bob Strong's GP surgery has been treating a lot of coughs and
colds recently, far more than is normal for the time of year. Bob
thinks there's something up but he can't think what. He seems to have
caught it himself, whatever it is - he's starting to cough badly and
there are flecks of blood in his hanky.
Saskia Harden has been found on a number of occasions submerged in
ponds or canals but alive and seemingly none the worse for wear.
Saskia is not on any files, except in the medical records at Dr
Strong's GP practice.
But Torchwood's priorities lie elsewhere: investigating ghostly
apparitions in South Wales, they have found a dead body. It's old and
in an advanced state of decay. And it is still able to talk.
And what it is saying is 'Water hag'...
Featuring Captain Jack Harkness as played by John Barrowman, with
Gwen Cooper, Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato and Ianto Jones as played by
Eve Myles, Burn Gorman, Naoki Mori and Gareth David-Lloyd, in the hit
science fiction series created by Russell T Davies for BBC Television.
