Plot introduction

An irregular bout of coughs and colds has Dr Bob Strong worried, especially when he himself starts to cough up blood. Saskia Harden is persistently found submerged beneath bodies of water and is not on any files apart from at Dr Strong's GP practice. Torchwood have found a dead body in an advanced state of decay that is still able to talk.

And all it can say is 'Water hag'...

Trivia

In chapter 13, Owen makes reference to Wikipedia:

"So, you typed 'water hag' into Google and pressed enter. I don't know... With all your police training and dedication to duty I'd have expected more. Whatever happened to the plod's meticulous fact-finding and slow-but-sure attitude? I think you could have gone that extra mile and tried Wikipedia." - Owen Harper, Page 125, Chapter Thirteen"
