The swell
(Book)

"Three years ago, surfer Kenna Ward lost her two great loves--after her boyfriend drowned, she hung up her surfboard and swore off the water for good. But she is drawn back to the beach when her best friend, Mikki, announces her sudden engagement to a man Kenna has never met--a member of a tight-knit group of surfers. Kenna travels with Mikki and her fianc ́to a remote Australian beach, entering a dangerous world where the waves, weather, and tides are all that matter, and meeting the reclusive group who 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--without becoming the next to go missing"--,Jacket flap.
