A Fickle Tide

Two crimes. One frozen island. A tide of secrets waiting to surface.

Off the rugged coast of Maine, Pyke Island is more than weathered cottages and crashing surf-it’s a place where secrets go to ground. When a woman wakes in a remote cabin, bruised, bloodied, and with no memory of how she got there, she’s thrust into a chilling mystery rooted in the island’s tangled past and uneasy present.

As fragments of her story emerge, so do whispers of a missing Hollywood producer, a dangerous smuggling ring, and a close-knit community unwilling to let outsiders in. On an island shaped by isolation and survival, the truth won’t stay buried-no matter how deep it’s been pushed.

This revised edition of A Fickle Tide features updated content and refined prose that heighten the suspense and deepen the emotional resonance of the original release. Whether you’re discovering Pyke Island for the first time or returning for another visit, this version offers a richer, more immersive reading experience.

Perfect for fans of small-town mysteries, island suspense, and character-driven thrillers with environmental and psychological depth, A Fickle Tide is the gripping first novel in the Pyke Island Mystery Series-a smart, slow-burn whodunit where the tide always brings something back.
