Blood Fountain
Caught up in a conflict over embracing the present or preserving the past, can this big-city cop get to the bottom of a deadly backwater grievance?
With a solid Investigative team at his back, and a much-anticipated engagement party to attend, Harry Grimm is relaxing into life in the country. But when a decapitated corpse is found lying on his favourite local pub’s quoit’s pitch, everything is thrown into chaos.
Then, when a second victim turns up at a world-famous waterfall, it soon becomes clear that tension between locals and sightseers has bubbled over into something fatal. Can Harry stop a secret serial killer before the rivers run red with blood?
Blood Fountain is the chilling nineteenth book in the DCI Harry Grimm Crime Thrillers series. If you like cunning killers, gruesome crimes, and beautifully written settings, then you’ll love David J. Gatward’s tense procedural.

Having failed to realise on reading the prospectus that this meant being in a school classroom and not just climbing mountains, he graduated and went straight into publishing.
His first book was published when he was 18. Since then, he has written numerous books for children and adults, both under his own name and as a ghost writer. He was winner of the Leeds Children’s Book Award, and was short-listed for the 2023 Kindle Storyteller Award.
