Tired of the heat, imaging an ocean breeze, and - if you're an ex-surfer
like me - dreaming you're on a surf board somewhere in SoCal! If you can't catch
the waves, try this: The Dawn Patrol by Don Winslow. This is not only one of
the best mysteries I've read, but also a view of the world of surfing. The history,
sociology, and spirituality of the Southern California Surfer come alive at
Pacific Beach just north of San Diego. You'll ride the waves with "the Dawn
Patrol" as they surf the morning waves while you investigate the murder of a
stripper. Private Investigator Boone Daniels is a surfer you won't forget and
his murder investigation leads to far more than the reader could imagine. The
surfing techniques, portrayal of the surfer's soul, plot, character development,
suspense, are so vivid you'll feel the mist of the waves coming right out of the
book! So if you've had enough Sonoran Desert Heat, place yourself in front of
an air-conditioning unit, throw some water over your head, and read this great
mystery. P.S. If it's a Chandler Library Book, watch the water - you don't want
to get fined for "water damage." - Henry (Downtown)
