Product details

A minimalist book poster inspired by The Lake of Darkness, Ruth Rendell's masterful psychological crime novel that traces Martin Urban's descent from comfortable accountant to unwitting accomplice in murder. This literary art print evokes the suffocating guilt and moral ambiguity that enshroud Martin after a chance act of charity entangles him with the unstable Finn, whose violent impulses shatter lives. A haunting addition to a reading nook, home library, or study, it makes a wonderful gift for crime fiction enthusiasts, book club members, and fans of psychological suspense who appreciate Rendell's piercing explorations of culpability alongside A Judgement in Stone and A Fatal Inversion.

The Square edition of The Lake of Darkness is a literary art print in balanced, symmetrical composition — designed for gallery walls and curated layouts. Its square format makes it elegant in any literary display.

✦ Square-format print with three exclusive colour variations (Style X, Y, Z)
