Sheriff Jericho Quinn's life in the Outer Banks of North Carolina is shattered following the mysterious death of his wife. A broken man, Jericho is forced to emerge from the depths of his despair when his only son is suddenly accused of an unspeakable crime. Murder. With his son shrouded beneath a cloud of suspicion, Jericho finds himself deeply immersed in the investigation and connects the murder with the recent disappearance of a child. A crab pot and a sunken duffle bag lead Jericho to the gruesome discovery of a second missing child. He soon untangles a string of kidnappings and murder, revealing a chilling timeline--a deadly tide, a cycle that is set to repeat. Peeling back the layers of deception and cruel betrayal, his wife's mysterious secrets begin to surface and have a disturbing connection to the case. Time is running out, and Jericho is in the fight of his life to prove his son's innocence and to unmask the killer before another child dies.

A Gripping Detective Thriller Full of Heart-Stopping Twists

Deadly Tide

"Grips you from the start and doesn't let go." -Jason Gurley, bestselling author of Eleanor. "Captivated me from the first page with its intensity... a gripping read!" -Jennifer Jaynes, USA TODAY bestselling author of Never Smile at Strangers. "Intensity from the first sentence. Hold on for the thrilling ride." -Ernie Lindsay, USA TODAY bestselling author of Sara's Game. "A haunting tale that will stick with you long after you've read the last page." -Kate Danley, USA TODAY bestselling author. When Emily heard the first scream, she became concerned. When she heard a second scream, she grew scared. When she heard the third scream, she was struck with terror. But it was what Emily could not hear that frightened her the most. Emily wakes to find that her world has plummeted into darkness--the clouds have spilled out of the sky and taken the sun. And there is more to the mist than just the dangers of being blind--the fog is poison, killing everything in its path. Their home is no match for the caustic fog, and her family is suddenly running for their lives. But when she learns that the machines built to save the world could be the cause of the accident, Emily turns to her father--the original architect--with the hope that they can stop the environmental catastrophe.

Into the Dark

Centuries ago something catastrophic happened. Historians claim it was an accident that spilled the clouds out of the sky, leaving humanity under a relentless veil of gray. For young Declan and Sammi, all they've ever known is a world of gray skies. Now, at odds about the past and uncertain of their future, they're of age, and it's time to build their lives together. Yet the coming of the End of Gray Skies has been declared. For a world shrouded in the mysterious fog, the promise to fix a centuries-old accident brings new hope that they might one day see and feel the warmth of the sun on their faces. But questions begin to surface. Questions of whether there ever was an accident. Questions asking what really happened that changed the Earth and what will happen if their world once again sits under the sun. End of Gray Skies is book two in the Gray Series.
