Ocean Springs, Mississippi has always had a talent for secrets. The kind that sink into the bayou and stay there — until they don't.
In The Body in the Bayou, Ocean Springs Chief of Police Jay Delp catches a murder case that refuses to stay small. What starts as a single body pulled from the water grows into something that reaches into the highest levels of this tight-knit Gulf Coast community — and straight into Jay's own life.
Douglas Pratt's third Jay Delp Mystery delivers the sharp procedural detail, dark Gulf Coast atmosphere, and small-town political tension that have made this series a go-to for fans of Southern crime fiction. Ocean Springs comes alive on every page — the bayous, the beach bars, the old families with long memories — a setting as vivid and layered as any character in the book.
Genre: Mystery
