The Dawn Patrol

About this book

The author of The Winter of Frankie Machine (another instant classicLee Child) is back with a razor-sharp novel as cool and unbridled as its California surfer heroes as heart-stopping as a wave none of them sees coming. Boone Daniels lives to surf. Every morning hes out in the break off Pacific Beach 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 works as a PI just enough to keep himself in fish tacos and wet suitsand in the water whenever the waves are epic macking crunchy. But Boone is also obsessed with the unsolved case of a young girl named Rain who was abducted back when he was on the San Diego police force. He blames himselfjust as almost everyone in the department doesfor not being able to save her. Now when he cant say no to a gorgeous bossy lawyer who wants his help investigating an insurance scam hes unexpectedly staring at a chance to make some amendsand take some revengefor Rains disappearance. It might mean missing the most colossal waves hes liable to encounter (not to mention putting The Dawn Patrol in serious harms way as he tangles with the local thuggery) but this investigation is about to give him a wilder ride than any hes ever imagined. Harrowing and funny righteous and outrageous The Dawn Patrol is epic macking crunchy from start to finish.
