Low Tide Mercy

A killer calls it mercy. Ellie Cook calls it murder.

Chronic pain is part of Ellie Cook's life. She manages it with a time-lock safe, a strict medication schedule, and a partner who refuses to let her fight alone. But when patients just like Ellie begin turning up dead along the Oregon coast - peaceful expressions, falsified charts, and identical notes whispering No more suffering - Ellie finds herself pulled into a case where compassion becomes a weapon.

Working as both a Seaside Police consultant and a private investigator, Ellie uncovers a dangerous network inside the region's medical system: manipulated records, vanished whistleblowers, and a rogue practitioner who believes ending pain means ending lives. And someone has marked Ellie herself as a "mercy candidate."

As the investigation closes in, Ellie must confront her deepest fears about dependency, vulnerability, and survival - while a shadowy figure known only as The Watcher keeps sending her information she shouldn't have, and maybe doesn't want.

Low Tide Mercy is a tense, emotional crime thriller perfect for fans of Tana French, Karin Slaughter, and LGBTQ+ mysteries with grit, heart, and a flawed but unforgettable lead.
