A Nora Calloway & Biscuit Mystery The Tide Knows Your Name Series: : A Nora Calloway & Biscuit Mystery - Book 1. A body in a locked bookshop. A dog who kn, Book 1, (Paperback)

<p>In the windswept seaside town of Harrow Cove, secrets wash ashore with every tide - and some are meant to stay buried.</p><p>Nestled between the harbour fog and salt-worn cliffs sits The Tide Knows Your Name, an old bookshop where the floors creak, the tea is always warm, and the past never truly rests. When Nora Wren inherits the beloved store from her late aunt, she expects dusty first editions, quiet afternoons, and perhaps a chance to rebuild her life.</p><p>She does not expect a corpse.</p><p>On the morning of Harrow Cove's annual summer festival, Douglas Herne - the town's most disliked selectman - is discovered dead inside the locked rare books room of Tidal Pages. The door was bolted from the inside. There are no signs of forced entry. Sheriff Del is quick to call it a heart attack.</p><p>But Nora knows something feels wrong.</p><p>And Biscuit knows it too.</p><p>Biscuit, Nora's elderly rescue cat with an unsettling talent for noticing what humans miss, refuses to leave the doorway of the rare books room. He ignores the body entirely. Instead, he stares at one shelf. One row of books. One place no one else thinks to examine.</p><p>As festival banners flutter over the harbor and the whole town gossips over fresh pastries and lobster rolls, Nora begins pulling at loose threads. Douglas had enemies everywhere. Frank Ott, his longtime business rival, had threatened him in public. The harbormaster was hiding records. Someone in town was desperate to keep a secret from surfacing at the next council meeting.</p><p>But Biscuit isn't interested in any of them.</p><p>When Nora discovers a faint trace of gardenia perfume on the spine of a rare book, the mystery deepens. Only one person in town still wears that old-fashioned scent - a woman who has every reason to appear heartbroken, and every reason to protect the truth.</p><p>Douglas's widow, Petra, has been quietly stealing from the harbour authority to fund her son's addiction treatment. Douglas was about to expose everything. Faced with losing her family, her son, and the life she built, Petra made a terrible choice in a moment of panic.</p><p>As the tide pulls another storm toward shore, Nora must decide what justice means when the truth isn't simple and guilt comes wrapped in grief.</p><p>Because some killers are monsters.</p><p>And some are just broken people who ran out of time.</p><p>Perfect for fans of seaside mysteries, intelligent amateur sleuths, charming bookshops, and cats who always know more than they should, <b><i>The Tide Knows Your Name</i> </b>is the unforgettable first book in the <b>Tidal Pages Mystery series </b>- where every book holds a secret, and every secret has a price.</p><p>Inside you'll discover: </p><p>- A locked-room murder mystery set in a charming coastal bookshop<br>- A clever amateur sleuth with a quiet past of her own<br>- Biscuit the cat, whose instincts may be sharper than the sheriff's<br>- Twists that unravel slowly, like tidewater over stone<br>- A poignant ending where justice comes at an emotional cost<br>- A haunting final clue that opens the door to Book Two</p><p>But the mystery doesn't end when the case is solved.</p><p>After the arrest, Nora discovers her aunt's private display ca</p>
