With the dawn of each day come the familiar routines that
bring solace to ordinary lives. Making the kids' lunches
and seeing your husband off to work are typical occurrences
in the life of a suburban housewife. But what if this
morning your simple good-bye turns out to be the last time
you ever see your husband alive? For Karen Friedman, that
is exactly what happened.
Charlie Friedman relishes the fact that he is able
to provide an extremely desirable lifestyle for his wife
and two children. A beautiful home, a vacation escape, and
expensive cars validate his self-worth as only a man could
perceive. The emotional side is the only casualty in his
near-perfect life, but in his mind, the extras far exceed
the deficit. As far as he is concerned, his balance sheet
is perfectly aligned. That is until one fateful morning
when on his way to work, the train he is supposedly on is
blown to smithereens. Unfortunately for his family, all
that is left behind are many unanswered questions, millions
of dollars of missing money, and the legacy of a man who
seemed to have deceived them all.
Ty Hauck is a burly police detective who has
secrets of his own that haunt his every move. When a hit-
and-run accident goes down in the Freidman's hometown of
Greenwich, Connecticut, Ty's radar is immediately put on
alert as he soon discovers that these two cases are somehow
connected. What unfolds is a masterful plot of deception
and international espionage with Karen Friedman and her
children trapped in the middle and with Ty being the only
one who can possibly help them to escape.
THE DARK TIDE is the second novel by the bright and
talented rising star Andrew Gross, who is most well-known
for co-authoring five New York Times Bestselling novels
with James Patterson. Like his first solo project, THE
BLUE ZONE, Gross packs a punch of action, suspense, and
drama that leaves the reader fighting for more. Once
again, Gross superbly delivers what his readers
expect...the ultimate ride.
An explosion rips through New York City's Grand Central
Station one morning, destroying the train Karen Friedman's
husband, a successful hedge fund manager, is riding in to
work. Days later, with many bodies still unidentifiable,
Karen resigns herself to the awful truth: her husband of
eighteen years is dead.
On that same day, a suspicious hit-and-run accident leaves
a young man dead in Karen's hometown of Greenwich,
Connecticut. Ty Hauck, a detective, becomes emotionally
caught up in the case and finds a clue that shockingly
connects the two seemingly unrelated events.
Months later, two men show up at Karen's home digging into
Charles's business dealings. Hundreds of millions of
dollars are missing—and the trail points squarely to
Charles. With doubt suddenly cast on everything she has
ever known, Karen, with Hauck, steps into a widening storm
of hedge fund losses, international scams, and murder. And
as the investigations converge, these two strangers
touched by tragedy are pulled into a deepening
relationship and unwittingly open the door to a twisted—
and deadly—conspiracy.
