Jay Delp Mystery

Jay Delp, a veteran Marine, returns to his hometown of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, to step into his new role as police chief while caring for his ailing father. On the eve of his first day on the job, two fishermen discover the body of a woman in Biloxi Bay. As city officials push for a quick resolution, Jay finds himself uncovering the dark secrets hiding beneath the surface of his once-familiar town.

Newly appointed Ocean Springs Police Chief Jay Delp is trying to rebuild a shattered department and reconnect with his family on the quiet Mississippi Gulf Coast—until the body of a teenage girl turns up on the beach and the town’s calm façade cracks. What first looks like an overdose quickly becomes a missing baby mystery, and when Jay discovers the girl had an infant daughter, he’s forced into a relentless investigation that points to exploitation, secrets, and people determined to keep the truth buried.
