Nine Lives at Low Tides

By MILO NOIREX

A corpse at low tide. A village full of secrets.
And one Highland cat who refuses to let a killer get away with murder.

When Moira MacLeish returns to her small Scottish coastal village to run her late aunt's bookshop, she hopes for calm seas and a quiet new start. Instead, dawn breaks with a dead body wedged in the rocks below the cliffs, ruled an "accident" far too quickly for anyone with sense.

Fortunately, Moira isn't investigating alone.

Angus, her battle-scarred ginger tabby with more attitude than most detectives, sees what the humans overlook. From strange footprints near an abandoned boathouse to villagers performing their grief a little too convincingly, Angus knows one thing for certain: this wasn't an accident. It was murder.

As Moira digs into the victim's past, the village turns tense and unfriendly. Long-buried land disputes resurface, old loyalties fracture, and a decades-old death suddenly looks connected. Someone wants the truth to stay underwater, and they're willing to kill again to keep it there.

But Moira won't back down.
And Angus never misses a clue.

Perfect for fans of cat detectives, Scottish mysteries, small-town secrets, and atmospheric whodunits, Nine Lives at Low Tide delivers sharp humor, twisty suspense, and a feline narrator with claws-and opinions.

Dark tides don't hide everything.
Some secrets surface.
