OCTOBER 2011 - AudioFile
Boone Daniels, an ex-cop who is now a private eye, is torn between his loyal surfing crew and the woman he loves when he finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation. Winslow’s compelling story is brought to life in a stellar reading by Holter Graham. As Daniels, Graham is as cool and sure-sighted as an experienced wave rider on a warm summer morning in San Diego. Never hurried, Graham delivers a relaxed, steady performance that allows the tension to build when a local surfer hero is murdered and another surfer is accused of the crime. Winslow’s writing is descriptive yet slightly minimalist, much the same as Graham’s underplayed delivery as he brings to life a seedy side of the Southern California surfing scene.
