Publisher Description
Di Morrissey returns to her roots with a heartfelt tale of secrets, mystery and community in an idyllic Sydney waterway, inspired by her childhood home of Pittwater. From Australia's favourite storyteller with new novel The Endless Sky coming December 2025.
A secluded, peaceful and diverse waterside community faces turmoil as corporate greed threatens to undo generations of heritage and tradition. Tensions mount as the community's way of life is threatened.
Meanwhile, in the city, Dominic Cochrane is at a crossroads. He is made redundant and retreats to the quiet Sydney bay.
Far from being the relaxing break he expected, Dom quickly becomes embroiled in a tragic family mystery as money sharks circle treasured old family homes.
As Dom investigates, secrets are exposed and old wounds reopened. Can he unravel what really happened so many years ago, or have the secrets been swept away on the dark night tide?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
There’s perhaps no better setting for a story about community versus corporate developers than Sydney’s Northern Beaches, and no better author to tell that tale than Di Morrissey. In The Night Tide, she brings her decades of storytelling experience to bear on a coastal mystery charged with history, tension and her trademark sense of place. The book follows Dominic Cochrane, a recently retired political staffer who’s new to the region. He soon finds himself drawn into a web of old secrets and new threats by the long-ago disappearance of a local teacher and the property sharks circling the bay. What follows is a layered mystery where past and present collide.
