The malice of waves

For five years Priest's Island has guarded the secret of Max Wheeler's disappearance. Each anniversary the boy's family gathers at the scene to mourn his loss and commission a new inquiry into the mystery but so far nobody has been able to uncover what happened. Now Cal McGill, an oceanographer with expertise in tracking bodies at sea, has taken up the quest and finds himself caught between a father hell-bent on vengeance, a family riven by tragedy and a community resentful at being accused of murder.
