Synopsis

Earl Armstrong, a young tribal forester, lives a quiet life along the Washington Coast managing timber sales and minding his own business. When a drive along the Pacific Coast Highway leads him to Unck, a local Indian storyteller who leaves him a suitcase of old treasures--a beaded tobacco pouch, a whalebone-handled knife, a piece of an old totem--Earl's life is forever changed. First, a tingling in the fingers. Next, restless sleep. Someone is there. As pieces of the past slip through Earl's dreams, the true nature of the treasures is revealed, guiding Earl to clues surrounding a murder that has plagued his family for generations. But in learning about the death of Ben Armstrong, a pioneer, adventurer, and successful lumberman, Earl's own life is at risk as he is stalked by a person linked to his dead ancestor, bringing the past and present together in a horrifying twist of dreams and reality. Riders of the Tides was awarded the IPPY Bronze Medal for Pacific Northwest Region Best Fiction in 2013 and recently was announced as a 2014 Beverly Hills Book Awards Finalist for New Fiction.
