Surfacing

Kristin Ginelli is heavily pregnant with twins but that does not stop this former cop, now professor, from jumping in to investigate a murder on her university campus. A swim coach has been found drowned and her best friend, Alice Matthews, who is a campus policewoman, is suspected of his murder. Kristin is also alarmed by Alice's behavior, and she suspects some kind of trauma in Alice's earlier life is causing it. Through therapy and solid police work, the two friends persevere, trying to catch up with a widespread coverup of sexual abuse that is decades old. The campus is also cyber-attacked by white supremacists who object to a colleague's course on "whiteness." Kristin gives birth, Alice perseveres in therapy, and the search for the murderer and the cyber-criminal all collide. How much can these women handle? Plenty, it turns out.
