От издателя
Noah Braddock is just living from wave to wave, catching a nice break from his private eye business. So when Peter Pluto asks Noah to look for his missing younger brother, Linc, Noah takes the case reluctantly-and quickly finds out that Linc is not your average undergrad.
Aided by his friend Carter and a beautiful Rastafarian coed, Noah discovers that Linc stole money from a white supremacist group. The skinheads will stop at nothing to find Linc-and when Noah wakes up at the bottom of a canyon, beaten and bruised, with a corpse lying next to him, he realizes he's next on their list...and in for the ride of his life.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
San Diego PI Noah Braddock interrupts his surfing for a missing persons case in Shelby's action-packed follow-up to Killer Swell (2005). Noah isn't eager to take on new clients, but he's moved by Peter Pluto's pleas to find younger brother Linc, a college student, whose apartment turns out to contain a stash of guns. The tension escalates when Linc's neighbor is shot after being questioned by Noah. Soon after, Noah's untimely arrival at Peter's ransacked house in a quiet cul-de-sac irritates a couple of vicious skinheads. Noah awakes in a ravine, left for dead, and a bit too cozy with Peter Pluto's corpse. Later, accompanied by his pal Carter, conveniently six-foot-nine, Noah boldly wades into plenty of life-and-limb threatening situations, including verboten gang territory and a secluded skinhead gathering. Strong characterization and wonderfully biting humor compensate for a straightforward plot that's overly generous with tough guy posturing.
