The Dawn Patrol (2008) Signed First Edition Reference

The Dawn Patrol was published by Knopf in 2008, featuring Boone Daniels — a private investigator and dedicated surfer whose daily routine of catching waves at dawn in Pacific Beach, San Diego, is disrupted by a case involving an arson investigation, human trafficking, and the exploitation of immigrant laborers. The novel is lighter in tone than the Cartel Trilogy — infused with Winslow’s love of surfing culture and the laid-back rhythms of the San Diego coast.
