Dark Tide: A Novel
The age-old story of good girl turned bad gets a fresh look in the intriguing saga of a London pole dancer with a mission. Genevieve’s father died, along with his dream of buying an old boat and restoring it, but Genevieve is determined to follow Dad’s dream. It’s doubtful that dream allowed for his daughter becoming a pole dancer, but Genevieve hates her high-pressure sales job and finds that dancing will increase her income substantially. Then she gets an offer she can’t refuse, hide a small package for a few months in return for big money. She buys a boat, moves on board, and hides the package. A few months later, she has a party, but one of her dancer friends turns up dead, floating in the marina. Genevieve suddenly realizes that the package she is holding may be trouble, and trouble surely comes. The two story lines of her city life and boat life are neatly interwoven, taut as a nautical knot and dangerous as a rogue wave. Lisa Jackson, Chevy Stevens, and Lisa Unger fans will find much to like here. --Stacy Alesi
