No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
From the bestselling author of Savages (now an Oliver Stone film).
As cool as its California surfer heroes, Don Winslow delivers a high velocity, darkly comic, and totally righteous crime novel.
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 scamhas unexpectedly led him to a ghost from his past. And while he may have to miss the biggest swell of his surfing career, this job is about to give him a wilder ride than anything he's ever encountered. Filled with killer waves and a coast line to break your heart, The Dawn Patrolwill leave you gasping for air.
Veteran actor Porter excellently reads Winslows latest thriller. The story opens with San Diego private investigator and consummate surfer Boone Daniels looking into the mysterious disappearance of a stripper slated to testify in a high-profile insurance case. Daniels would rather spend time with his surfer pals, but after the strippers best friend is found dead, he puts down his boardalbeit temporarilyto get to the truth. Porters rendering of the eclectic cast of characters showcases his vocal versatility, as he reflects the clipped speech of a comely British lawyer as easily as the deep, deliberate tones of dudes who spend their days riding the waves. Among the best of the surf set is endlessly mellow-fellow Hang Twelve, whose voice is reminiscent of the Jeff Spicoli character in the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High. --Allison Block
