As cool as its California surfer heroes, Don Winslow’s new novel delivers a high velocity, darkly comic, and totally righteous tale of crime. Every morning Boone Daniels catches waves with the other members of The Dawn Patrol: four men and one woman as single-minded about surfing as he is. Or nearly. They have “real j-o-b-s”; Boone, however, works as a PI just enough to keep himself afloat. But Boone’s most recent gig—investigating an insurance scam—has unexpectedly led him to a ghost from his past. He may have to miss the biggest swell of his surfing career, but this job is about to give him a wilder ride than any wave he’s encountered.
