A dying island. A woman who knew too much. And two retirees who can't leave well enough alone.
Helen and Mike Carney only meant to spend a few quiet weeks on Solomon's Bluff, a Lowcountry sea island where the tide runs the clocks and everyone still speaks of 1822 like it was last spring. Then a storm surge gives up the body of Odessa Fenwick - the island's fiercest historian, genealogist, and unofficial conscience - drowned at her own dock, and ruled, a little too quickly, an accident.
Helen doesn't believe it. Odessa spent thirty years documenting who really owns this island's land, one handwritten deed at a time - and somebody wanted that work to stop.
What starts as a courtesy call to a grieving community pulls Helen and Mike into a scheme as old as the marsh itself: heirs' land, split a sliver at a time until whole families lose ground their great-great-grandparents cleared, sold out from under them by paperwork nobody thought to question. Forged signatures. A complicit clerk. A land consultant with a easy smile and an offshore trail. And a local deputy who's been fighting this fight alone for weeks, waiting for someone to believe her.
With Eleanor the motorhome parked at the marsh's edge and the whole island watching to see whose side they're really on, Helen and Mike start pulling at threads no one else was willing to touch - because whatever happened to Odessa Fenwick, it wasn't the tide that took her.
Not everything the tide brings back was meant to be found.
