About this listen

 Every morning, Boone Daniels is out with the Dawn Patrol: four men and one woman as single-minded about surfing as he is, or nearly. They have real jobs; Boone works as a P.I. just enough to keep himself in fish tacos and in the water.

But Boone is also obsessed with the unsolved case of a young girl named Rain who was abducted while he was with the San Diego police. He blames himself, just as almost everyone in the department did, for not being able to save her.

Unexpectedly, he finds himself with the chance to make amends, and this new investigation gives him a wilder ride than any he's ever imagined.

I actually enjoyed this more than I expected to. Didn't think it was my kind of book, but it was quite entertaining! And the reader was excellent.

I enjoyed it. An excellent performance from Ray Porter (as always), and a decent story. It didn't blow my mind, but it was a worthwhile, and fun listen.

Energetic and exciting throughout! As always, Winslow draws compelling characters together in a tense mix. Ray Porter does a masterful job of bringing them to life. #audible1
