Disappearing Tide (The Shadow Route Series Book 1)

When seventeen-year-old Cassie Hall vanishes just yards from her mother’s car, the scene left behind—her phone, her backpack, and no witnesses—suggests a deliberate and controlled abduction. What begins as a single missing-person case quickly draws Detective Nolan Briggs into a pattern that doesn’t fit: no struggle, no noise, no clear trace of where she went.As Briggs works the case, the absence itself becomes the clue. Subtle inconsistencies point to a level of planning that extends beyond a lone perpetrator. With each lead, the investigation reveals something more troubling—evidence of a system designed to operate in plain sight, moving quickly and leaving almost nothing behind.As time narrows, the search shifts from recovery to exposure: uncovering not only what happened to Cassie, but how it was allowed to happen at all.Disappearing Tide is an investigative thriller that combines procedural precision with emotional stakes, exploring the moment when disappearance becomes something larger—and the cost of finding the truth.
