The Gentlemen's Hour is the second in the short two-book Boone Daniels series by Don Winslow . It has dropped to $2.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. I haven't read either of Winslow's Boone Daniels titles, but have read and enjoyed a couple of his Neal Carey titles, including
A Long Walk Up the Water Slide, whose title is up there on my all-time title list, along with other such gems as
The Cannibal Who Overate.

Quote:
Boone Daniels lives to surf.
Laid back, ultra–California cool, the former cop turned PI begins each day with the Dawn Patrol, a close-knit group of surfers, best friends who not only ride waves together but have one another’s backs out of the water. It’s the life Boone loves, all he wants. To him, “There’s no such thing as a bad day at the beach.” So when one of their own is murdered—especially an icon like Kelly Kuhio, a local hero—and another surfer, a young punk from the Rockpile Crew, stands accused, the small world of Pacific Beach is rocked to its core.
Boone knows he can no longer ignore the painful truth that violence is seeping into the surfing community. But when he agrees to help the defense, the outrage he courts from the community, and the Dawn Patrol, is more than he ever anticipated. He’s risking losing the relationships that define his life— just when he needs them most.
As Boone digs deeper into San Diego’s murkier side, delving into places the city’s reputation conscious establishment would rather he left alone, it becomes clear that more than a murder case is at stake. He soon finds himself out there alone, struggling to stay afloat as the waves get rougher and rougher . . . and more deadly. It’s The Gentlemen’s Hour—and it could be Boone’s last.
