On her honeymoon at a storm-battered hotel on the Maine coast, forensic accountant and true-crime podcaster Nora Ellis wakes to an impossible crime: her husband has vanished from a room locked from the inside.
His phone is still on the nightstand. The balcony is latched. The only other door has been sealed for decades.
As Nora follows a trail of shell companies, copied keys, and carefully staged lies, the numbers point toward Adrian Voss-her husband's magnetic, secretive business partner. But the evidence is almost too perfect, and the closer Nora gets to Adrian, the harder it becomes to separate guilt from grief...or danger from desire.
With a nor'easter closing in and someone listening to every episode of her podcast, Nora must expose the truth before the man who built the locked room closes it around her.
Atmospheric, emotionally charged, and filled with shifting loyalties, The Locked Tide is an adult romantic mystery thriller about betrayal, obsession, and the terrible cost of loving someone whose secrets could destroy you.
Some lies hide the money. The worst ones hide the person you married.
