The Dark Tide by Andrew Gross is the first book in the series featuring Detective Lieutenant Ty Hauck who works for the Greenwich, CT police department. Publisher: William Morrow, February 2008

On the morning Karen Friedman learns that her husband, a hedge fund manger, has been tragically killed, Detective Ty Hauck begins his investigation of another man’s death in a suspicious hit-and-run in Karen’s hometown.

The two seemingly unrelated tragedies are about to plunge a beautiful widow and a determined investigator into a maelstrom of murder, vast sums of missing money and international conspiracy.

This was a good read filled with fast-paced action, suspense and thrills as to who is involved in this conspiracy. It’s always the person closest to you who pulls the strings, something Karen and Ty will discover. My rating: 4 stars
