Halb Krimi, halb Surf-Roman: Gerade als Boone Daniel sich in eine Jahrhundertwelle stürzen will, wird er mit einem neuen Fall beauftragt...
Part classic crime fiction, part San Diego surf culture, part 'Super Friends' - this is the stunning new novel from Don Winslow ('so good you almost want to keep him to yourself' Ian Rankin)
Boone Daniels is a laid-back kind of private investigator. He has sleuthing skills to burn but is rarely out of his boardshorts, and with a huge Pacific storm approaching San Diego, Boone wants to be there to ride the once-in-a-lifetime waves with his buddies in the Dawn Patrol. Unfortunately he's just landed a case involving one dead and one missing stripper, but with the help - or hindrance, Boone thinks - of uptight lawyer Petra Hall, he's determined to wrap it up in time for the epic surf.
But all sorts of trouble follows with Hawaiian gangs and trafficked Mexican girls, as the case turns dark and personal, raising ghosts from Boone's troubled past and dragging in Sunny and the rest of the Dawn Patrol. The currents turn treacherous on land and at sea as the big swell makes landfall, and Boone has to fight just to keep his head above water...
