The Dawn Patrol is back! P.I. Boone Daniels risks the wrath of his fellow boarders after he agrees to defend a young man accused of murdering a beloved surfer and local legend.
• Acclaimed series: Boone Daniels and his band of California surfers captivated readers in The Dawn Patrol, which the San Francisco Chronicle raved “might be the best summertime crime novel ever.” Winslow’s trademark “fast pacing and intriguing characters” ( The Wall Street Journal ) and “hairpin plot turns and snappy dialogue” ( Los Angeles Times ) are back in full complement in The Gentlemen’s Hour, which received stellar reviews in the UK and was a finalist for the 2010 CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger award. Winslow is “so good you almost want to keep him to yourself” (Ian Rankin).
• Accomplished writer, perfect topic: In The Gentlemen’s Hour, New York Times bestselling author Don Winslow, considered to be the successor to the venerable generation of writers like Ross Macdonald and Elmore Leonard, provides a trenchant look at the complexities and sensitivities of friendship and loyalty and a captivating foray into Southern Californian surf culture: “Winslow writes with panache about the light and dark sides of San Diego and the wave-craving characters that call its celebrated coastline home” ( Booklist ).
