    About this series

    New York Times and USA Today bestselling author P. J. Alderman's latest Columbia River romantic thriller, combining suspense and romance against the backdrop of the sea...

    A woman who earns her living on Oregon's treacherous Columbia River...
    Bar pilot Jo Henderson knows all the myths and legends of her native Astoria, but her knowledge of the undercurrents in local events proves more deadly than she thought possible when an explosion dumps her into the Columbia's icy winter waters. Though she survives her first "accident", she's unknowingly become the target of a ruthless killer.

    A man sworn to save lives at the risk of his own...
    When Bostonian John MacFallon took the job of Astoria's police chief, he left evil behind--he thought for good. But with the suspicious "accidents" piling up, Mac uncovers a plot that threatens to cripple the regional economy and destroy the woman who has quickly become far too important to him.

    What readers and reviewers are saying:
    "Alderman focuses on the intriguing and dangerous jobs of the Columbia River bar pilots, as well as highlighting the many issues involved with international shipping."
    "P.J. Alderman brings this sleepy town to vivid life." --Debbie Wiley, Reviewer
    "...an exhilarating romantic whodunit with a strong cast." --Harriet Klausner
    "The plot twists and turns like a fishing line in a rip tide." --New Mystery Reader
    "I was transported into the dangerous world of the [Columbia River] bar pilots and given a window into the lives of men and women who deal head-on with the rewards and challenges of their job. Interesting characters and a spectacular Pacific Northwest setting added to my enjoyment..."
    "Alderman introduces diverse characters, mixes them up with plots upon subplots, and sets it all against the backdrop of small-town Astoria, Oregon. Better still, she makes it work." --Debbie Wiley

      New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Novel Where there's smoke... Kaz Jorgensen is used to fear--the anxiety of negotiating treacherous currents as she captains her family's fishing trawlers, the terrifying nightmares of the day she almost lost her life on the river. But now a man is dead, an arsonist has set the Anna Marie ablaze, and her brother is missing. There's fire... Michael Chapman knows how to take the heat--as the new fire chief of Astoria, Oregon, he's dealt with more than his share. No way can he afford to get involved with the sister of a suspect. But the scorching attraction between him and Kaz burns out of control, and when someone takes a shot at her, his protective instincts kick in. Whatever happens, he can't allow another woman to die because of him. Reviews: "...an intriguing contemporary romantic suspense with an engrossing plot and lots of mystery that keeps you guessing. With this debut, P.J. Alderman shows that she is clearly an author to look out for." --Fallen Angel Reviews "The plot twists and turns like a fishing line in a rip tide." --New Mystery Reader "If P.J. Alderman's first foray into writing is any indication then we should be on the receiving line for some enjoyable books. Her characters are very real and kind of rough around the edges, which is what make them so wonderful to get to know. Even the bad guys have their moments. That was what made it an interesting ride to see who was responsible for the murders, arson and general mayhem. Alderman, who paints a wonderful picture of the lives and trials of the fishermen born into a life aboard the trawlers and have to circumnavigate treacherous waters, brings the story to life." --Fresh Fiction "For a debut author, P.J. Alderman does a fantastic job of creating intrigue, suspense, drama, romance, and so much more. The plot is well laid out and incredibly plausible with characters who are full and real...if A Killing Tide is P.J.'s debut, a bright future is on the horizon and I can't wait to see more." --Once Upon a Romance "Kudos to Ms. Alderman on a job well-done. The edgy THE KILLING TIDE is a fabulous debut, an edge-of-your-seat chiller guaranteed to thrill." --Romance Reader at Heart
