The Smallest of Waves: A Beach Suspense

By Janice Coy

Suspense Finalist at the San Diego Book Awards Association

The Smallest of Waves has an appealing heroine. Janice Coy uses her beachside setting well, contrasting Agave Beach's innocent sandcastles and clueless tourists with the mysterious ocean - so foreign with its dark depths, sharks, kelp forests, and sea caves. Kirkus Reviews

Agave Beach is a popular tourist destination. Jaye Walker is simply there to work at a kayak shop and move on when she's earned enough money - a pattern she's perfected over the years. Long-term emotional attachments aren't for her. But before the summer season even begins, her new worker disappears leaving his beloved chihuahua behind on the beach. What can Jaye do but take responsibility for the little dog?

Then, dead seals start washing up on the sand - some with shark bites. Has Jaye's employee met the same fate? As the news of the dead seals spreads, tourists cancel their plans and business slows to a trickle at the kayak shop. Jaye might be forced to work through the winter. And what will she do with Baby? She can't abandon the dog. She's still desperately searching for her missing worker.

When Josue Segura show up to rent a kayak, Jaye is grateful for the business but believes she's seen him on the beach before in mysterious circumstances. Why is Josue really in Agave Beach?

Soon, Jaye realizes that not only are her plans to leave threatened, but her very life is in danger. Will Agave Beach be her final destination after all?
