The Gentlemen's Hour

A Novel

By: Don Winslow

Narrated by: Holter Graham

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Border, a “down-and-dirty dip into the treacherous social currents of Southern California” (The Wall Street Journal), in which P.I. Boone Daniels agrees to defend a young man accused of murdering a beloved surfer and local legend.

Former cop turned investigator Boone Daniels lives to surf. He begins each day with the Dawn Patrol, a close-knit group of surfers who have one another’s backs in and out of the water. When one of their own, a local legend, is murdered, the small world of Pacific Beach is rocked to its core. But when Boone agrees to defend the young man accused, the outrage from the community is more than he ever anticipated, and as he digs deeper into San Diego’s murkier side, it becomes clear that not just a murder case is at stake. Boone soon finds himself out there alone, struggling to stay afloat as the waves get rougher and rougher...and more deadly.

A good listen

Many of Winslow's novels can get pretty grim, although most really grab your attention. While this one has the requisite amount of blood and guts, what comes out is his sense of whimsy and humanity. Boone Daniels is a great character. I would like to hear more from him.

Awesome Read

Loved it. great 2nd book to the first "Dawn Patrol" kept me guessing the whole book. just when you thought you knew what was comming, pow, it takes another turn. I hope there is a 3rd book coming. enjoy!!!!!

Good read/listen

I loved this but the narrator was not the same as the one from dawn patrol, and that took some getting used to. He still did a great job with voices. There were a few long winded philosophical or educational bits that just seemed too much filler.

Overall very good.

Great book

Love all the surfing talk also like that it takes place in San Diego Ca

Nice Surfer Detective Story

Liked the story but not as much as the first with this character in "The Dawn Patrol". Nice reading.
