Kem Nunn
Tapping the Source

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.

"Kem Nunn is one of a rare breed, a novelist who knows how to plot and tell a story. There is amazing energy here." —Elmore Leonard

"Forcefull and gripping … in the same league as as the best of Chandler and James Crumley. The all-time great surfing novel." —Robert Stone
