I’m the one who lost this blue paperback mystery last night around 3pm near the Jennette's Pier entrance in Nags Head, Outer Banks. It’s a 350-page paperback with a slightly creased blue cover and a silver foil title, The Silent Tide, and an orange fish-shaped bookmark sticking out from page 142. Inside there are a few dog-eared margins and a coffee-stained receipt tucked in the back cover. This book matters to me—it's a gift from my aunt and has real sentimental value. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to get it back; we can meet at the pier or a nearby cafe.
