A collection of short stories where the humour runs dark and the slipstream bubbles up.
...imagine if Raymond Carver called up George Saunders and Joe Lansdale, and they all went drinking with Neil Gaiman.

So what the hell is this book about? Here is a basic synopsis of the plot:
In between happy hours at the El Rayo Verde, Luke Fischer is hired to find people. But when he finds a dead junkie in his hotel room, he knows his lazy days of Mexican beer and Cholula soaked peanuts are about to end. Fearing the local policia will tie him to the murder, Luke bolts from Puerto Vallarta and abandons his search for a sultry client's wandering brother.
Like the vanishing waves surfers know as the acid drop, Luke rides each lead until it crests and disappears under his feet. Luke’s search for answers leads to a killer wave that he will ride all the way back to the Mexican hotel where it began.
