La mayoría de la gente que llega a Huntington Beach –la meca del surf en el sur de California– lo hace en busca de sus olas y sus fiestas interminables. Pero lo que Ike Tucker quiere es encontrar a su hermana y a los tres hombres con los que la vieron por última vez. Su búsqueda se convertirá en un viaje de autodescubrimiento rodeado de surfistas bronceados, atractivas rubias, moteros, punks y camellos. Joven e ingenuo, Ike se irá adentrando peligrosamente en las entrañas de una ciudad amable que esconde un violento submundo del que no le será fácil escapar. Publicada en 1984, Huntington Beach está considerada un clásico del género negro y es para muchos una de las grandes novelas sobre surf. Kem Nunn –uno de los autores que mejor ha sabido retratar el lado oscuro de la costa oeste de Estados Unidos– le da otra vuelta de tuerca al mejor thriller en este feroz descenso a los abismos que es también una turbadora narración sobre el desencanto, la soledad y el deseo.
People go to Huntington Beach in search of the endless parties, the ultimate highs, and the perfect waves. Ike Tucker has come to look for his missing sister and for the three men who may have murdered her. In that place of gilded surfers and sun-bleached blonds, Ike’s search takes him on a journey through a twisted world of crazed Vietnam vets, sadistic surfers, drug dealers, and mysterious seducers. He looks into the shadows and finds parties that drift toward pointless violence, joyless vacations, and highs you may never come down from. And if he’s not careful, his is a journey from which he will never return.
