Michael thought Ireland would be his escape.

An American by birth but a ghost by choice he arrives in Dublin following a broken marriage in Wiltshire, England searching for solitude - and a chance to disappear. But the sea keeps its own kind of memory, and the quiet life he hopes for soon begins to fracture.

There has always been something... unsettling about Michael.
Even before everything fell apart, there was an undercurrent - something unspoken, something that can be felt but never quite seen.

Drawn west to the storm-beaten coast, he falls into the orbit of Maureen - magnetic, enigmatic, and impossible to resist. Through her, he's pulled into a world of fishermen, unspoken loyalties, and buried crimes.
On the trawler Emerald Star, beneath a bruised Irish sky, he uncovers a secret that was never meant to surface.
That night in the Irish Sea ends in a brutal struggle - and a choice to show mercy.
A choice Michael believes he can outrun.

The moment passes, The consequences don't

As shadows close in and trust begins to erode, Michael realises some debts do not stay buried. From the fog-bound harbours of Ireland to the sunlit shores of St. Lucia, everything he's built - and everything he hopes for - is already under threat.
To survive, he must confront not only the men who want him silenced...
...but the truth about what's been following him all along.
Because the most dangerous thing chasing Michael-
might be who he really is.

Fans of Paula Hawkins, Tana French, and Alex Michaelides will be drawn to this atmospheric psychological thriller where every tide hides a secret-and every secret demands a price
