Kurzbeschreibung
Boone Daniels, a laid-back private investigator, gathers with his surfing buddies on Pacific beach. There's no surf, but the Dawn Patrol are out in force regardless...it's what they do. Having no work to do, and no real reason to go to the office, Boone stays for the second shift on the daily surfing clock - the Gentleman's Hour; and ends up taking on a hated matrimonial case. But that soon becomes the least of his worries. When The Sundowner, a symbolic icon of the San Diego surf scene, sees a murderous dispute between a young surfer and a member of the territorial Rockpile Crew, the painful truth that violence is seeping into the surf community can no longer be ignored. So when asked to help on the defence by current love interest Petra Hall, Boone knows there will be outrage from both the community, and the rest of Dawn Patrol. As the two cases overlap in unexpected ways, an isolated Boone finds himself struggling to stay afloat as the water gets deeper...and more deadly.

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
After the first book about the surfin' Private Investigator Boone Daniels and his friends, the The Dawn Patrol, Don Winslow gives his hero some nut to crack.
Some odd nut, not the usual one, but one big and hard as a cocoa nut.
And Boone will have to make some very unpopular decisions...
But first things first...
The Dawn Patrol, the surfing "usuals" at Pacific Beach, San Diego, California occupy the early hours to catch the waves.
The next shift for the elder, more settled buddies on the surfing clock is the so called "Gentlemen's Hour".
Now our hero Boone, once only to be seen with the Dawn Patrol, has to do some of his snooping work as a PI in the early morning. So more and more he gets separated from his long time friends by the circumstances. And finds himself more and more in the company of the "Gentlemen".
One of them, Dan, has a very naughty cat to skin - his beautiful wife Donna seems to have an affair.
So, after Dan is literally begging him down on his knees to take the case, Boone agrees. Sniffin' after husbands or wifes normally are the last cases to take - there often will be an outcome, even the deceived part is rarely able to accept the ugly facts without any prove.
So Boone - to his luck - buys some acoustic device that will show its utility in more than one way, but only at the (almost) very end of the story.
Because Boone is forced into an other investigation that will turn all his friends against him - the brutal assassination of some local Surfer's Icone called Kelly Kuhio aka K2.
A "kama'aina" - a pure Hawai'ian Surf Guru, a "legend".
One of the most peaceful, helpful and gentelest men who ever surfed and walked the beaches from Hawai'i to the Californian Coast...
Beaten to death in front of the "Sundowner", one symbolic place of the San Diego surf scene.
By whom?
Oh, a culprit is found on the spot.
And Petra Hall, the Brit aka Pete, who has an "thing" with Boone, asks him to help the defence on that particular case. And he knows right from the beginning that this will seperate him from his friends of the Dawn Patrol...
Working down his way on his cases, he has more than one incounter of the unpleasant kind.
He will see thirst of revenge on one side, and groups with a deep hate for everyone but "white" on the other.
And he will find out facts that will tie both of his cases together in a way he never ever wanted to know. That overlap will cause a lot of distress to Boone and those next to him.
And then there will be the legendary "Battle of Rockpile" - when the beaches will finally and hopeful for ever swept free of mobsters with racial agendas.
But to arrive at that final climax, You will have to read 324 pages.
And I can promise You - there will be not one single page that will leave You readers disappointed!
Don Winslow - please, tell us more about the myths of the Californian Surfing Scene - the sooner the better!
