Dead Tide

Washington anchorwoman Lacie Wagner has retreated to a secluded beachfront home on Nantucket to heal the physical and emotional scars of her fiery past. When she discovers the body of a female diver washed ashore--her face destroyed beyond recognition--Lacie's tranquility is shattered. What starts out as the most explosive investigation of her career, swiftly turns intensely personal.

A killer has chosen her to tell his story, methodically releasing evidence, daring her to discover his identity--and to save his last living captive. Stonewalled by law enforcement and the military, Lacie hires a renegade manhunter. Together they run outside the law and straight into the heart of an unspeakable evil--a riptide that sweeps its victims one by one into the unfathomable depths of a watery grave.
