The mist lifted the moment he stepped through. And there was the watertower at the summit. His watertower This was what he had come for. In the award-winning book The Watertower, readers were introduced to the small town of Preston and the old watertower that stands outside the town. It is a place where Bubba and Spiro go to play and swim. But what lurks in the deep waters? Why are the townspeople changing? In Beneath the Surface, Spiro, now a doctor of science, returns to uncover the mystery and to find an explanation for the nightmares that haunt him. What he discovers will change his life forever. Beneath the Surface is the long-awaited sequel to The Watertower, winner of the 1995 CBC Book of the Year Award.
