What the Tide Took: A Coastal Thriller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998957864)

Three men died when the Miss Carolina went down. The town called it an accident. The town was wrong.

Fifteen years later, Nora Banks has built a quiet life in Southport, North Carolina, managing the marina her father once ran. She keeps the docks in order and her head down. She doesn't ask about the night the trawler sank-or why her father never spoke of it again.

Then her cousin Mary Galloway vanishes.

Mary had been asking questions about the Miss Carolina. Now those questions belong to Nora.

When a stranger arrives with proof the sinking wasn't an accident, Nora is pulled into a trail of forged records, shell companies, and a power structure that reaches deeper than she expected-closer than she's willing to admit.

Because the truth about the Miss Carolina isn't just about what happened that night.

It's about who made sure it stayed buried.

And as Nora gets closer, it becomes clear:

Some secrets aren't just hidden.

They're protected.

Steeped in salt air and long memory, What the Tide Took is a coastal thriller about the lies families carry, the cost of silence, and the courage it takes to bring the truth to light.

The first Nora Banks novel.
