Synopsis
Abandoned by his parents as an infant, Scully was reared in an orphanage, Huntington House. The only positive thing in his young life was the attention of the Home's director, Walter "Pop" Dix. Pop, an avid surfer, would take a small group of kids for early morning surfing. He was the father none of them ever had.
That was thirty years ago. Now, Shane is forced to revisit these memories when Pop is found dead, the victim of an apparently self-inflicted shotgun blast. He leaves a message asking six specific people, all of whom attended Huntington House, to be his pallbearers, and Shane is one of the chosen. He and his fellow pallbearers don't believe it was a suicide. That leaves murder. But why, and by whom?
Together, the pallbearers embark on a dangerous odyssey in pursuit of justice for Pop, and for retribution against those responsible for his death. Their journey takes them up against an unforeseen adversary whose power and influence far exceed anything they could have imagined.

Reviews
I do roughly 5 books a month and have been doing so for 12 years. I've gotten into a process that every 4th book I try a new author. This is the first book I've listen to by Stephen J. Cannell. It was absolutely fantastic. It also helped that it was read by Scott Brick. He's a great reader. I recommend this book to everyone interested in an action packed yet heart wrentching experience. He's now in my rotation.
