Low Tide, Long Shadows (Paperback)

Paperback. Private investigator Ellie Cook thought exposing corruption was dangerous. She didn't expect the retaliation to come dressed as procedure.Back in Seaside, Oregon, Ellie finds herself under quiet assault: licensing reviews, anonymous complaints, professional concern weaponized against her chronic pain and trauma history. No threats. No warnings. Just a tightening net designed to make her unreliable.As Ellie, psychiatrist Alexa Mendoza, Police Captain Jesse Tran, and EMT Joe Park compare notes, a disturbing pattern emerges along the Oregon coast-elderly residents removed through "wellness checks," psychiatric labeling used as erasure, and development deals that leave no fingerprints.Low Tide, Long Shadows is a slow-burn coastal noir about institutional gaslighting, reclaimed agency, and what it takes to keep standing when the system decides you're inconvenient.No clean endings.No easy villains.Just truth-and the long game.
