Coupeville resident Jay W. Jacobs recently penned a new novel, “The Widow Wave: A True Courtroom Drama of Tragedy at Sea” about The Aloha, a sport fishing boat, which vanished in the Pacific Ocean off of the coast of San Francisco.
The true-life mystery explores the search for the truth in lieu of witnesses or hard evidence.
Jacobs discusses the differences between “courtroom truth” and “real truth” while allowing the audience a glimpse at the workings of the justice system in regard to a wrongful death case.
“An intelligently told true story of honor, integrity and justice…a great read,” said Robert Dugoni, New York Times bestselling author of “My Sister’s Grave.”
Jacobs is a sailor and trial lawyer as well as an author. The novel has been published by Quid Pro Books and is available in paperback or hardcover from various retailers as well as Kindle, Nook, Apple iBooks, Google Play, Smashwords and Kobo.
