Low Tide Lies
A Coastal Murders Novel
by Barry Sargent
The tide doesn't just wash things away.
Sometimes it gives them back.
Detective Alex Rowe has learned the cost of telling the truth in Breaker's Reach. She exposed what she could. She walked away when the town closed ranks. But when coastal erosion uncovers human remains buried beneath the bluffs, the past refuses to stay silent.
The body is old. Carefully hidden. Erased so completely that no official record of the victim exists.
What begins as a cold, forgotten death becomes something far more dangerous when Alex discovers the burial is tied to the earliest days of Breaker's Reach, to land deals, law enforcement decisions, and powerful families who built their influence on a lie no one was meant to uncover.
There is no killer to chase this time.
Only a system designed to survive exposure.
As Alex pushes deeper, evidence disappears, loyalties fracture, and truth is reshaped into something safer, quieter, and legally untouchable. The town doesn't deny what happened. It absorbs it. Reframes it. Waits for the tide to come back in.
Because in Breaker's Reach, justice isn't denied.
It's managed.
Low Tide Lies is a bleak, atmospheric crime thriller about buried crimes, inherited silence, and what happens when the truth threatens the foundation everything else was built on.
