About the Book
Making the most ofincredible plot twists, dark settings, and the use of ancient religious rituals, this thriller will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the final pages. In the Galeegi Islands along the coast of South Carolina, the former prime suspect in a 40-year-old, controversial murder case is found dead of a questionable suicide. Tyler Miles, a newly recruited patrolman with the Galeegi Police Department, becomes an unlikely part of the investigation and is immediately swept up in a tidal wave of violence and deceit that threatens to impact the entire Lowcountry. Working side-by-side with Chloe Hart, a research biologist for the EPA, Tyler must find a connection between the suicide and the old murder, all the while facing a new rash of killings and an imminent, destructive threat to the islands and the surrounding marshlands. From behind the screen doors of the island s most impoverished hovels to the marble floors and crystal chandeliers of its finest plantation homes, Tyler will race to unravel the mystery behind the chilling case. And, in his search for justice, he will come face to face with an evil as old as hatred itself, cryptically finding his answers only in what the tide leaves behind."

Tidal Pools "is a great South Carolina story, well told, by one of our best. Enjoy. Ken Burger, author, "" Swallow Savannah"
" If you enjoy a cleverly constructed, fast-paced nail biter spiced by hexes, haints, and hoodoo, this is your book. It will keep you guessing to the last page, and you can t get there fast enough. John Warley, author, " Bethesda s Child"
"""Tidal Pools" is a chilling mystery set along the distinctive shores of the palmetto state.

Jim Harrison, author, " "The Palmetto and Its South Carolina Home"
""Thackston weaves an intensely menacing tale in an appropriate setting a remote island, lush and primitive.
