How well do you know the person you married?
You share a bed. A home. A life. But do you know what they’re truly capable of?


I never thought I’d be a widow at twenty-six. They haven’t even dredged him out of the ocean yet, but the neighbors still drop by with casseroles and sympathy cards. They want me to plan a funeral when I don’t even have a body. So I play the part and smile politely, pretending I’m grateful for their pity.

But I knew my husband. He’d been a fisherman his entire life and knew the sea too well to take chances during a storm. My mother-in-law tells me to move on, but I just can’t do that. And when I discover a key to a storage unit I never knew existed, I uncover records linking him to five women who vanished over the last decade.

Now I’m investigating on my own, digging into this town, into everything he left behind. The closer I get to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes. I know someone is watching me, and everyone in Blackwater Bay is hiding something. They think I’ll let it go—I won’t.

Everyone says the tide took my husband.
Maybe the tide will come for me next.
