Sinossi

Illustrated edition of book 1 in the award-winning Anna Kronberg series.
 
A series of systematic murders. A killer the police don't seem to see. A brilliant woman with dark secrets.
 
When a corpse surfaces in the city's waterworks, the Metropolitan Police fear a cholera outbreak. They summon bacteriologist Dr. Anton Kronberg, who spots something far more sinister hinting at the victim's excruciating end.
 
The police lose interest when evidence of foul play seems too weak and far-fetched. To catch the killer, Kronberg is forced into an alliance with Sherlock Holmes. Their suspicions deepen when a second victim is found, and both stumble into a world of abduction, abuse, and systematic murder.
 
But this isn't Kronberg's biggest problem. Catching a killer and staying alive would be much less challenging if the doctor didn’t have dark secrets of … her own.
 
If you love dark historical mysteries and psychological thrillers with an unforgettable female lead, witty dialogue, spine-chilling twists, and Sherlock Holmes joining a chase that will keep you guessing to the final page, this British murder mystery series is your next must-read.

    An ELLE Favorite Book of 2024! 
    “Fireworks explode down the shore in Rip Tide, Colleen McKeegan’s absorbing novel. At once an insightful look at tangled family dynamics and a wrenching story of youthful delusion, Rip Tide illustrates that for many women, the past is a ticking time bomb. The deeper we bury it, the bigger the boom. Spread out a blanket, crack open Rip Tide and prepare to be dazzled.”—Jillian Medoff, author of When We Were Bright and Beautiful 
    From the author of The Wild One, a heartfelt and suspenseful novel about two sisters returning to their childhood beachfront home who are forced to confront their traumatic past when a body washes ashore. 
    It’s been fifteen years since Kimmy Devine promised herself she’d never move back to Rocky Cape, the idyllic South Jersey beach town where she grew up. She doesn’t want to relive the crushing heartbreak and scandal that ravaged her world as a teen. Her younger sister Erin shares those feelings, the wounds she caused so many years ago forever binding her and Kimmy. 
    Yet here they are, back in their hometown: Kimmy, floundering after quitting her high-powered finance job in London to help her dad run the family’s hardware stores; Erin, reeling from fertility issues and an ongoing divorce, begging to be taken seriously by her parents. The more time they spend in Rocky Cape, the stronger the pull of nostalgia, and both Erin and Kimmy slip on the past like a pair of last year’s sandals, forgetting about the blisters when worn too long. 
    As the sisters celebrate their homecoming at their parents’ yacht club, a handful of familiar faces arrive to dampen the revelry. The next morning, a body is found floating nearby and long-buried secrets from their adolescence begin to emerge. Someone from the sisters’ past, it seems, is out for revenge. 
    Told in fast-paced, dual timelines, Rip Tide is a steamy, tension-filled tale of suspense about family, friendships broken and repaired, young love lost and rekindled, forgiveness and second chances, taking control of your life, and the dangerous decisions we make when blinded by desire.
