Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Kem Nunn's earlier surfing novel Tapping the Source was nominated for an American Book Award. In The Dogs of Winter, he draws again on the eternal legends and tall tales of surfers. Jack Fletcher is a pill-popping photographer on the skids who is lucky to get the assignment of photographing the aging surfing legend Drew Harmon and two young pros at the Heart Attacks in Northern California--an appropriately difficult-to-reach and shark-infested "mysto spot" reputed to have 30-foot waves. Not all dangers lurk in the ocean, however. The local Indians are unfriendly to outsiders and to each other; Harmon's young wife is obsessed with Indian witchcraft and a murdered local girl; and Harmon cloaks his own demons in laconic surfer-deity mystique. The hapless Fletcher and a local tribal council worker named Travis McCade desperately try to avert the curl of disaster that builds and breaks in this heavily atmospheric novel. --Amazon.com
Book Description
Jack Fletcher, a former hot-shot surf photographer but now fallen on hard times, suddenly gets a call from the surf magazine he worked for in his glory days. He can't believe his luck when he's assigned to photograph legendary surfer Drew Harmon surfing the equally legendary reef known as "Heart Attacks". With two lackeys in tow, Fletcher heads off to the wilderness of Northern California, the Indian territory where Harmon now lives with his half-mad wife Kendra, who roams the woods at night wearing the clothes of a murdered girl. This is not what Jack expected, and things get much worse.
