Sun, surf, and... murder?

Professional surfer Claire Williams and her clever border collie, Ripley, came to Malibu for waves and competition points. Instead, their morning beach walk leads to the discovery of legendary surf instructor Jake "The Wave" Peterson's body washed ashore.

When local police rush to rule it an accidental drowning, Claire's competitive instinct kicks in. The strange marks on Jake's surfboard don't match any accident she's ever seen. Between competition heats, Claire and Ripley dive into an investigation that reveals the cutthroat side of surfing paradise.

Jake was about to unveil a revolutionary surfboard design worth millions. Now Claire must navigate a tide of suspects: a resentful rival instructor, a desperate corporate rep, a temperamental former protégé, and a friendly lifeguard hiding surprising secrets. Each has motive, but which one left Jake to drown in the predawn waters?

As Claire gets closer to the truth, she finds herself in the killer's crosshairs. Can she and Ripley catch the culprit before another body washes ashore -- possibly their own?

Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with amateur sleuths, adorable canine sidekicks, gorgeous beach settings, and communities hiding dangerous secrets.
