Summary
A finalist for the National Book Award, Kem Nunn's "surf noir" novel Tapping the Source is a thrilling plunge into the seedy underbelly of a Southern California beach town. Ike Tucker arrives at the surf paradise of Huntington Beach with one goal: to find his missing sister and the three men who might have murdered her. But lurking in the shadows of this sun-kissed California beach town, he discovers a dark subculture of drugs and violence, a sea of old hatreds and dreams gone bad. As he sinks deeper into the hedonistic circles of crazed Vietnam vets, sadistic surfers, and mysterious seducers, he loses sight of his questand may not make it back to the surface. This now cult novel from master of suspense Kem Nunn is the first of his acclaimed trilogy and an unforgettable ride.
