The Woman Under
the Bridge

About the Book

Ocean Springs, Mississippi has always kept its secrets beneath the water.

Jay Delp didn't plan to come home. But when his father's mind began to slip, the Marine-turned-detective traded the beaches of South Florida for the bayous and bridges of the Mississippi Gulf Coast — and the new title of Chief of Police in his hometown of Ocean Springs.

His welcome gift: a dead woman found floating face-down under the Biloxi Bay Bridge.

What begins as a local tragedy quickly reveals itself as something far more sinister — a thread that, when pulled, unravels a years-long web of violence hiding behind the quiet charm of a Gulf Coast town. With a mayor more concerned with tourism than justice, a lean department with more heart than resources, and secrets buried in his own past, Jay must trust his instincts to find a killer before the Mississippi Sound swallows the truth forever.

The Woman Under the Bridge is the debut Jay Delp Mystery — a compulsively readable thriller rooted in the real beauty, rhythm, and darkness of coastal Mississippi.
