Cold Tides: A Mara Ellison Crime Thriller (The Mara Ellison Series Book 4)

5.0 out of 5 stars (6)

COLD TIDES

A gripping British crime thriller in the bestselling Mara Ellison series

A body recovered from the harbour should have been routine.

DI Mara Ellison knows it isn’t from the moment she sees it.

The dead man is Adrian Kellett — a financial compliance officer with no criminal record, no known enemies, and no reason to end up in the freezing water off the Kent coast. But when Mara and DS Finn Rourke begin investigating his final movements, the case starts shifting beneath them almost immediately.

Files vanish.
Records change.
Witnesses back away before they can speak.

And every time they push forward, something pushes back.

What begins as a suspicious death quickly pulls Mara and Finn into a network of buried financial irregularities, protected interests, and institutional interference that reaches far beyond a single victim. Requests are blocked. Evidence disappears. Access closes without explanation.

Someone is controlling the investigation from the shadows.

And the deeper Mara digs, the more dangerous the case becomes.
Because Adrian Kellett was never supposed to be found.

And his death may be connected to something far older — and far more protected — than either of them realise.

As pressure mounts from inside the system itself, Mara is forced toward an off-book investigation that could cost her career, her safety, and the fragile line she’s spent years trying not to cross.

Perfect for readers of
Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, Angela Marsons, and Mick Herron, Cold Tides is a tense, atmospheric British detective thriller filled with buried secrets, escalating danger, and a conspiracy that never stopped operating.
