A legendary surf break. A brutal unsolved murder. And a place where outsiders aren't welcome. Heart Attacks is California's last secret surf spot, a remote stretch of coast whispered about in bars and surf shops, but known to very few. The waves can tower more than thirty feet. The waters are shark-infested. The locals are hostile. And getting there means crossing land where strangers have no business being. For down-and-out photographer Jack Fletcher, an invitation to shoot the legendary waves alongside surfing icon Drew Harmon could be the break he desperately needs. But there's more waiting for Jack on this isolated coastline than the perfect wave. Drew's young wife, Kendra, has become obsessed with the unsolved murder of a local girl. Convinced that someone knows what really happened, she is determined to uncover the truth-even as her questions begin to draw dangerous attention. As Jack is pulled deeper into their world, the wild beauty of the coast gives way to something darker. Because in a community built on secrets, some people will do anything to keep the past buried. Atmospheric, gripping and charged with menace, The Dogs of Winter is a psychological thriller about obsession, violence and the dangerous pull of the unknown.
