Join Dan, a wannabe PI and a self-destructive widower, and his friends as they help out a friend in distress. While investigating a shooting, Dan and his posse uncover more mayhem and shenanigans. It's a fast-paced, entertaining read with great snappy and sharp-witted dialogue and banter. There are some excellent one-liners that made me "Ha!" out loud. The book features a diverse cast of likable characters, and then there's Skip, your classic, symbolic surfer dude who is very amusing.
The book also delves into Dan's emotional state, his pain, suffering, and grief. It is written in a very sympathetic and poignant manner. I'm not ashamed to admit that it brought a tear to my eye. Perhaps it's my age, or maybe it was just a bit of grit in my eye. Yes, that was it—a bit of grit. I'll go with that.
