A Fickle Tide: A Pyke Island Mystery In Downeast Maine (The Pyke Island Mysteries In Downeast Maine)

The quiet of the winter season on Pyke Island is shattered on the same night in early January. A man desperate to get off the island kidnaps Del Corriveau and leaves her unconscious in an empty summer cottage. A Hollywood producer disappears from his vacation home, known as Black Ledges, in an act of violence. How are the crimes connected? What is Black Ledges hiding? Caught up in the police investigation, Del's suspended lifestyle is blown away by a blizzard of suspicion, threats, lies, and regrets. Del must use some unusual knowledge and uncommon skills to uncover the truth.Winter in Downeast Maine is not just a setting but key to uncovering what happened. The extreme tides and unpredictable weather play a role. Interwoven throughout the mystery are glimpses of modern island life: lobster fishing, clamming, community suppers. Like tracking shoeprints in the snow, evidence is unearthed, criminals are hunted down-leading to a confrontation and a heart-stopping rescue. These are the bones and muscle that move the story, but the heart of the A Fickle Tide is how everyone is changed by it. Praise for A Fickle Tide: "a complex, tightly-woven story with subtle clues, sharp misdirection, exciting suspense and clever plot twists." - Bill Bushnell, Kennebec Journal
