Story
Jack Wade, a claims adjuster for California Fire and Life Mutual Insurance Company, is one of the best arson investigators around. He's a man who knows fire, who can read the traces it leaves behind like a roadmap. When he's called in to examine an unusual claim, the tracks of the fire tell him that something's wrong. So wrong that he violates his own cardinal rule - "You don't get personal, you don't get emotional. Whatever you do, you don't get involved" - and plunges into the case.

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.

When Tim Kearney draws a license plate across the throat of a Hell's Angel, he's pretty much a dead man. It's his third crime and, according to California law, that gives him "life without the possibility of parole". Killing a Hell's Angel also makes him a dead man on any prison yard in California. That's when the DEA makes Kearney an offer: impersonate the late, legendary dope smuggler Bobby Z so that the agency can trade him to Don Huertero, northern Mexico's drug kingpin, for a captured DEA agent.

Publisher's Summary
From domestic war to barroom brawls, grad-student-turned-PI Neal Carey’s got more than studying on his plate.
Neal’s three-year confinement in a Chinese monastery is finally over—but his troubles are just beginning. The elusive financial benefactors who have bought his freedom expect a return on their investment. They want him to find Cody McCall, a two-year-old boy recently abducted by his father in a bitter Hollywood custody battle—a task that will propel Neal from the glittering Hollywood hills to the remote wilds of Nevada.
To find Cody, Neal has to turn outlaw in a land of two-bit casinos and roadside cathouses to infiltrate a vicious white supremacist group spouting hatred and dealing in terror. But the deeper undercover he goes, the deadlier the game becomes. Now Neal must force a showdown with the group’s crazed leader and find Cody before the missing toddler ends up lost in a world of unspeakable evil.

Don Winslow at his best!
Discovering Don Winslow at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic was a godsend. From Art Keller to Boone Daniels to Neal Carey and Joe Graham to Nicholas Hel, I was transported from Mexico to China to London, the Scottish moors, SE Asia, NYC, the American high desert and the southwest. What a treat. The detail alone is worth the time. Don Winslow is one of the best authors I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know. He is a master of his craft!

Superb- love the series!
Love this series, as well as the Don Winslow stand alone novels. He's become a top tier, "go-to" novelist for me & I can't recommend his work enough. My only criticism is that soon I'll have plowed through his entire bibliography...

The 4 would be a 5+ if the writing in first part of this book -
funny, funny stuff.contined to the end. But 2nd part of book snarled into a 3....so - 4 it is.
** some readers will like the action in part 2.
Worth a credit. Watch for this author- funny, funny.

I love Don Winslow’s books
The story starts slow but by the end you can’t put it down or you can’t stop listening. And the characters though they’re a bit fairytale are fun and somewhat realistic. I highly recommend this series

Disappointing; disliked graphic violence
What would have made Way Down on the High Lonely better?
More of the humor and irony of the first two in the series.
Has Way Down on the High Lonely turned you off from other books in this genre?
I enjoy the adventure and the danger but not graphic violence. I thought Winslow was perfect until this book.
Which character – as performed by Joe Barrett – was your favorite?
The old Indian and Karen.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Winslow writes powerful descriptions and really offers readers a keen sense of place.
Any additional comments?
I want audible to label books as to their level of graphic violence. Your eye, when reading, can easily skip over it but not so much on audible. I enjoy the thriller/detective genre, I can deal with foul language, but it's hard to ignore the detailed violence when the book is playing in your ear on on the car.
