Running Water is an adventure novel by the British writer A.E.W.Mason in 1907. The story could be noticeable as mountaineering crime fiction with a romantic turn. A story of danger, romance, and adventure as mountain-climbers fight to save a climber who has slipped on a huge glacier. The novel combines a love story with a story of adventures under the banner of philosophical views. The heroine of this romance is Sylvia Thesiger, a beautiful young woman with an envious mother and love of the Alps. The novel begins with her first climb, up the icy black rocks of Col. Silent to the top of Aiguille d’Argentiere, in the company of Captain Hilary Chayne. After their first meeting on the Mont Blanc mountain, Sylvia goes back to England to live with her father (whom she has never link up). Skinner shows to be a dangerous man with a puzzling past and Sylvia tries, with Chayne’s help, to protect the appointed victim. The final encounter takes place on the lethal Brenva route, one of the most adventurous ways to reach the top of Mont Blanc.
