Suspense and excitement begin in chapter one of Andrew Gross’ The Dark Tide and doesn’t let up until the final page.Mr. Gross proves himself to be once again a ‘best-seller’ author.His characters emit a realism that only come from the very best writers as he continues to keep his readers enthralled with his vivid imagination.
The main characters police lieutenant, Ty Hauck, and Karen Friedman make you feel their heartfelt sorrow and loneliness as they are drawn together by the loss of the two individuals they have loved so dearly.Hauck is unknowingly drawn into the search for answers to an ever-increasing puzzle when he takes on the quest to solve a hit-and-run that shows signs of being no accident.
The plot deepens as the lieutenant meets Karen, the wife of the man whose name shows to be connected to the hit-and-run victim by a note found in the victim’s pocket, and continues to develop more confusing twists and turns as Karen’s husband has been killed in a train explosion on the same day.
The author takes you from the peaceful suburban life of Old Greenwich to the white sands and bright sun of the beautiful Caribbean; all of which carefully veils the underworld of million dollar money transfers and murder.Take the plunge. You won’t want to miss this swim in The Dark Tide!
