Something in Vallarta  E-mail this product to a friend

One part Raymond Chandler and two parts Hunter Thompson, Richter's atmospheric novel introduces us to an expatriate gringo beach bum who is about a peso away from flat broke until hired by a flashy and obnoxious resident of the American section of Puerto Vallarta, who thinks his live-in girlfriend is cheating on him and wants her followed. Richter captures the flavor of Mexico, where 'manana' is the operative word. --Publishers Weekly
