Keeper of the Tides - The Tide Always Returns

KEEPER OF THE TIDES The Tide Always Returns A Vincent James Gideon Mystery The sleepy fishing village of Black Rock Cove has always had its secrets. The whispers of missing townsfolk, ghostly figures seen near the cliffs, and the ever-present pull of the ocean tide have haunted the town for centuries. But when renowned detective Vincent James Gideon—known simply as Gideon—arrives to investigate a series of gruesome and unexplained disappearances, he quickly realizes that something far older and more sinister lurks beneath the waves. As bodies begin to resurface—pale, lifeless, and whispering secrets no one should hear—Gideon and his fearless partner Bridget Flynn uncover a horrifying truth: the Keeper of the Tides is real, and it's been waiting. The deeper they dig, the more they unravel the legend of Nathaniel Ashford, who tried to stop the cycle years ago—and failed. When a long-lost journal emerges, detailing a curse that can never be broken—only reset—Gideon realizes he's been marked. The ocean has chosen him. The only way to stop the tide from claiming the town is to return what was stolen… before it's too late. But the sea does not forgive. And it never forgets. As shadows rise from the deep, as the cliffs crack beneath the weight of an unspeakable force, Gideon, Bridget, and their reluctant ally Graves must race against time to break the cycle before Black Rock Cove is swallowed whole. Will they outrun the tide or become the next chapter in its bloody, endless history? The waves are rising. The past is waking. And in Black Rock Cove… the tide always returns.
