Dark Current Rising

By Ashley Farley

A missing woman. A haunted detective. A town built on secrets.

When Detective Lane Sutherlin returns to Tidewell, Virginia, it isn't by choice. She's back in the small waterfront town she once called home to search for her childhood best friend, Addie, who's vanished without a trace.

But coming home means more than chasing leads. Lane finds her father-the town's respected former judge-slipping further into dementia. Old wounds with her brother flare, resentments deepen, and the house she grew up in feels less like a refuge and more like a reminder of everything she's lost.

As Lane digs into Addie's life, she uncovers more than she bargained for: a toxic marriage, whispered betrayals, and powerful men determined to protect their own. Every clue draws Lane closer to Tidewell's polished elite-and to the rot lurking beneath their perfect fa ades. Soon she realizes Addie may not have been the only target.

In Tidewell, the past is never really past-and some secrets refuse to stay buried. Lane must untangle lies, face old enemies, and risk everything to bring the truth to light...even if it means becoming a target herself.
