Synopsis: A woman on the run from her husband encounters danger in a seaside town: &“An eminently likable heroine . . . a highly clever ending&” (Booklist). Emily Salter is once again using her maiden name, living with her dog in a town along northern England&’s coast that she remembers fondly from childhood holidays. Her intention was to get far away from her controlling and threatening husband. Here, she&’s found some refuge, even met a nice gentleman, though she&’s not anxious to jump into another relationship. But her new home is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface. Spies lurk in its remote corners—and a dead body lurks under the water. To Emily&’s shock, she is beginning to suspect that the intrigue has something to do with her—as well as the man she thought she left behind—in this suspenseful mystery by a Diamond Dagger–winning author who &“delivers literate, complex, and immensely satisfying thrillers&”( Orlando Sentinel). Also published under the title The Turning of the Tide.
