The Swell

"The holiday getaway takes a suspenseful turn." -The Washington Post

Cut off from the rest of the world, a group of elite surfers are determined to find the perfect waves at any cost . . . even murder.

Three years ago, surfer Kenna Ward swore off the water for good after her boyfriend's tragic death. But she is drawn back to the beach when her best friend, Mikki, announces her engagement to a man Kenna has never met-a member of a tight-knit group of surfers. Kenna travels with Mikki to a remote Australian beach, entering a dangerous world where the waves, weather, and tides are all that matter, meeting the reclusive group that will do anything to keep their surf spot a secret.

This coastal paradise has a dark side, and Kenna is shocked by the extremes the surfers are prepared to go to for the next thrill. When she learns about mysterious deaths and disappearances within the group, her suspicion is heightened. Soon, Kenna realizes that in order to protect Mikki and herself, she must become one of them . . . and hope she isn't the next to go missing.
