Zusammenfassung Heart Attacks is California’s last secret spot—the premier mysto surf haunt! the stuff of rumor and legend. The rumors say you must cross Indian land to get there. They tell of hostile locals and shark-infested waters where waves in excess of thirty feet break a mile from shore.

But Drew is not alone in the northern reaches of the state. His young wife! Kendra! lives there with him. Obsessed with the unsolved murder of a local girl! Kendra has embarked upon a quest of her own! a search for truth—however dark that truth may prove to be. The Dogs of Winter is a portrait of two men and an appealing yet troubled young woman set against an unforgettable background of stark and violent beauty.
