The abandoned desert cemetery was easy to overlook. Countless motorists drove right past it every day without realizing it was even there, utterly unaware of its existence. But Cameron had long known of the isolated graveyard and was puzzled to see a peculiar figure standing in it one night as he drove past. His curiosity piqued, Cameron investigates the cemetery, only to encounter a dearth of information regarding it: no formal records, no plats, no history to establish when the cemetery was created, nor who lies buried there. Unexpectedly, Cameron's research carries him backwards through the centuries, to a forgotten Spanish land grant and a lost settlement.Cameron induces his boyhood friend, Chet, to join him as he explores the enigmatic cemetery and its environs, hoping to learn more of its strange history. Their innocuous investigation proves more fateful that either of them could have imagined, however, when Chet inexplicably disappears. Unfortunately, because the cemetery appears to be located outside the city limits, Cameron's efforts to enlist the help of the police to find Chet is greeted with bureaucratic indifference and finger-pointing. Ultimately, the responsibility for resolving the mystery of Chet's disappearance rests with Cameron, his friend, Nancy, and an unexpected ally: Woody, a Native American police detective who agrees to help them. Although the initial purpose of their straightforward association is to ascertain what happened to Chet, the three friends quickly realize that things are not as unambiguous as they thought. Very rapidly they determine that an evil intelligence appears to be associated with Chet's disappearance, though the reason behind it remains elusive. In fact, this intelligence has existed for centuries, as readers learn from historical flashbacks throughout the novel. In their quest to find Chet, Cameron, Nancy, and Woody, encounter communication from spirits, malevolent poltergeists, death.WF Waldrip's latest book is a horror and suspense story for the thinking person, a mystery paranormal thriller like no other. Creative, erudite, and literate, filled with fascinating historical information about Arizona and the American West, The Float's inherent suspense builds line by line, chapter by chapter, to a stunning denouement. The Float is like no horror thriller you have ever read.

Waldrip received a bachelor's degree in education from Northern Arizona University and a law degree from the University of Arizona. At various times in his adult life, he has worked as a school teacher, door-to-door salesman, ditch digger, radio talk show host, and attorney. Waldrip is widely traveled throughout Central and South America, Europe, and Africa. Aside from his novels, his previous scribblings appeared in the anthologies "Eldritch Tales" and "Writers of the Desert Sage." Henry James is his favorite novelist. A native of Arizona, WF Waldrip's father died when he was five. He and his older siblings were raised by a single mother whose formal education ended with the eighth grade, largely by working as a cook and barmaid. The resulting uncertain income necessitated that Waldrip's family relocate frequently, including to Young, Show Low, and Payson, Arizona.
