ABOUT THE BOOK

A troubled young man, a seven million dollar fortune, and a M**der 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 Pr*son in June 2023.

"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
