Summary
Don Winslow returns to the world of PI Boone Daniels and the Dawn Patrol. Doug is one of the Dawn Patrol regulars. He has a miserable job as an accountant for a payday loan company. He has an unsatisfying marriage to Carli, who looks down on him even though she's only five foot three. He is not exactly a joyful person. He doesn't exude happiness or enthusiasm. But while surfing, Doug is in a state approaching euphoria. He loves it. He's happy. Otherwise...not so much.
One September morning, Doug accidentally runs right into another surfer on the beach. There are rules about these things. The other guy should call Doug a jerk, Doug should say, "my bad", and they should both paddle back out and move on. Problem is, the other surfer doesn't want to move on. He wants to fight. And for once in his life, Doug wants to fight back.

A great short story
Unexpectedly good. Well written, well narrated and with a twist in the tail worth the wait.

The best short story I have come across in a long
Amazing how the story unfolds as it goes along. The story line is strong. It keeps you interested and wanting to know what happens next right to the very end.

Excellent Short 'Dawn Patrol' Story
I love the Dawn Patrol stories and the new character 'Doug' is a welcome addition who proves it's the quiet ones you have to watch. He seems like a total loser but inside he's got it all sorted and the pay off is brilliant. Superbly narrated by Ed Harris.
