Synopsis: Surfing and murder come together in this dazzling debut mystery series featuring San Diego private investigator Noah Braddock. "Marilyn Crier peered in the window, and I knew the past was about to kick me in the ass. "When Marilyn Crier calls surfer-cum-private investigator Noah Braddock, she doesn't mention that she hasn't seen him in more than a decade or that she'd despised him when he dated her daughter, Kate, in high school. She does, however, mention that Kate is missing and she wants Noah to find her. . . . And so begins Killer Swell, the first book in a new mystery series featuring private investigator/surfer Noah Braddock. Author Jeff Shelby knows the surfing world and how to create a wonderfully authentic, vividly alive sense of place. Most of all, he knows how to create a memorable new hero: a man who is sometimes brash, often funny, always strong, and honorable. With Killer Swell, Shelby carves out a place for himself next to the likes of Randy Wayne White, T. Jefferson Parker, and Carl Hiaasen. Crisp writing, rich details, and an amazing main character make Killer Swella truly thrilling debut.
