Some secrets refuse to stay buried. Especially at sea.

Dr. Isla MacBride was never meant to be a detective. A deaf marine biologist with a sharp eye for patterns and a past she’d rather forget, Isla prefers the quiet of her island home and the certainty of ocean tides. But when a fellow researcher is found drowned near the wreck of a rumored 19th-century smuggler’s ship, Isla is pulled into a case as murky as the waters she’s sworn to protect.

What begins as a tragic accident soon unravels into something darker—an unsolved death from decades past, a shipwreck tied to the Highland Clearances, and whispers of a serial killer known only as The Tide. As Isla dives deeper, aided by a gruff local officer and shadowed by her ex-fiancé’s sudden reappearance, she uncovers sabotage, stolen artifacts, and a string of eerie messages in bottles that feel far too personal.

Someone is watching. Someone who knows that Isla is closer to the truth than she realizes. And they’ll do anything to make sure the past stays submerged.
