Book description
Boone Daniels is a laid-back kind of private investigator. He has
sleuthing skills to burn but is rarely out of his boardshorts, and
with a huge Pacific storm approaching San Diego, Boone wants to be
there to ride the once-in-a-lifetime waves with his buddies in the
Dawn Patrol. Unfortunately he's just landed a case involving one dead
and one missing stripper, but with the help - or hindrance, Boone
thinks - of uptight lawyer Petra Hall, he's determined to wrap it up

But all sorts of trouble follows with Hawaiian gangs and trafficked
Mexican girls, as the case turns dark and personal, raising ghosts
from Boone's troubled past and dragging in Sunny and the rest of the
Dawn Patrol. The currents turn treacherous on land and at sea as the

above water...
