Professor Peter Bristol's obsessively-ordered life is turned upside down in a heartbeat, when he witnesses a young woman in a bridal gown swept out to sea.

But was she real, or just the product of unresolved grief for his late wife? As Peter embarks on a mission to find the answers, he uncovers a plot of murder and deception that runs deep.

Soon, he realizes that the woman in the waves was only the beginning.

A suspenseful tale of grief and secrets that refuse to stay buried, WOMAN IN THE WAVES is the second book in the Driftwood Mysteries series by William J. Cook.
