In Book Three of The Driftwood Mysteries, Professor Peter Bristol's obsessively-ordered life is turned completely upside down. During his weekly walk on the beach, he is helpless to prevent a young woman in a bridal gown from being swept out to the sea. Was she real? Or was she the product of unresolved grief for his late wife? As he embarks upon a mission to find the answers, he uncovers a plot of murder and deceit at the university where he teaches--a nexus of evil far deeper and darker than anything he could have imagined. The woman in the waves was only the beginning.
