Wicked Break — Jeff Shelby

Noah Braddock is just living from wave to wave, catching a nice break from his private eye business. The last time he traded his surfboard for a gun, Carter Hamm, his wild and woolly best friend, nearly died. So when a man asks Noah to look for his missing younger brother, Linc, Noah takes the case reluctantly--and quickly finds out that Linc is not your average undergrad.

It seems that Linc has a pack of skinheads beating down his door--and a cache of semiautomatic weapons stored in his apartment. Aided by Carter and a beautiful Rastafarian coed, Noah discovers that Linc has stolen some money from a white supremacist group. The skinheads will stop at nothing to find Linc. And when Noah wakes up at the bottom of a canyon, beaten and bruised, with a corpse lying next to him, he realizes he's next on their list...and in for the ride of his life.
