The Tide Line: A Laura Perry Thriller

By Elder Silva

She breaks into companies for a living. This time the company broke into her life first.
Laura Perry is a red teamer: paid to walk into corporate headquarters under a false title, find the hole, and walk out before anyone learns her real job. Her new assignment comes from a board member who won't give a name. A Rhode Island startup is forty-five days from a $42.8 million funding round, and someone is stealing the one thing that makes it worth the money.
There is a complication. The startup sits on the island Laura left at twenty-two and swore never to set foot on again. Nine miles up the road, her mother still farms oysters off the point where Laura grew up, and a lawyer in a charcoal suit has started visiting with papers from an investment fund called Daybreak.
It is the same name Laura saw on the startup's term sheet.
With a suspicious Texan head of security watching her every move, a hired hand testing the lock on her car, and someone far more careful going through her hotel room, Laura has six weeks to prove that the fund buying the company and the fund taking her family's shoreline are one animal in two coats. The woman behind it isn't cruel. She is simply never wrong. And she knew who Laura was before Laura crossed the bridge.
For readers of Ruth Ware, Joseph Finder and Tana French: a smart, dry-witted thriller about shell companies, salt marshes, and the things you know at thirty-five only because you learned them at nine.
