A missing person case with no missing person.
A system that insists nothing went wrong.
And one investigator who refuses to accept the paperwork.
In Against the Tide, private investigator Ellie Cook takes on an off-the-books case that isn't about finding someone-it's about challenging the official story that erased them. When a young man vanishes along the Oregon coast, every institution involved labels it a voluntary disappearance. No crime. No investigation. Case closed.
Ellie knows better.
As she digs through medical records, employment files, and emergency reports, Ellie uncovers a pattern of sanitized truths and procedural shortcuts-systems designed to process vulnerable people, not protect them. At the same time, she's fighting her own battles: chronic pain, PTSD, a complicated relationship with medication, and the fragile balance of her life with Dr. Alexa Mendoza.
Set in Seaside, Oregon, Against the Tide is a slow-burn investigative mystery about grief, accountability, and the people who slip through cracks no system wants to admit exist.This is not a whodunit.
It's a why-didn't-anyone-care.
