Description

People came to Huntington Beach in search of the endless party, the ultimate high and the perfect wave. Ike Tucker came to look for his sister and for the three men who may have murdered her. In that place of gilded surfers and sun-bleached blondes, Ike looked into the shadows and found parties that drifted towards pointless violence, joyless violations and highs you might never come down from... and a sea of old hatreds and dreams gone bad.

Reviews

Tense and driven with a sense of the apocalypse around the corner * Washington Post * What Hemingway's Nick Adams did for fishing, Kem Nunn does for surfing. Through the sensibility of its hero and the sensitivity of its author, Tapping the Source puts you there and makes you understand * Saturday Review * perhaps the ultimate beach read -- Scott H. Urban * Pif Magazine * If you missed it first time round, this is surely the book to take on a beach holiday * Shots Mag * Tapping the Source is one of the great American noir novels * Crime Fiction Lover *
