Et nervepirrende drama og en intens thriller – rystende, sjov og rørende
Da Nick bliver skudt, mister han alt. Sit job, sin familie, sit øje og sin selvrespekt. Han flygter fra Californien til Mexico, hvor han tilbringer tiden med at surfe og drikke med de lokale. Klappen for øjet giver ham tilnavnet Pirata. Men så en dag bliver hans ven dræbt af sin kæreste, Meagan, under dramatiske omstændigheder. Nick, som har en svaghed for Meagan og hendes to sønner, bestemmer sig for at hjælpe hende. De skiller sig af med liget, og indleder et stormfuldt kærlighedsforhold, og pludselig har Nick noget, der ligner en familie igen.
Men da et lig flyder op på stranden, og en FBI-agent får færten af Nick, indser han, at fortiden er ved at indhente ham …
"Det er sjældent, at man får en bog i hånden, som på en og samme tid er både rystende, sjov og rørende, men dét lykkes for Patrick Hasburgh. En moderne klassiker."
- Carl Hiaasen, forfatter
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Former California car salesman Nick Lutz, the narrator of this thoughtful thriller from Hasburgh (Aspen Pulp), is called Pirata by the locals of Sabinita, Mexico, for the patch he wears over the eye he lost in a carjacking the first in a series of misfortunes that led to the loss of his job, a lasting break from his wife and son, and his move to Mexico. In Sabinita, Nick uses his one passion, surfing, to cover up his emotional pain. When Meagan, the girlfriend of his surfing buddy, Winsor, puts a claw hammer in Winsor's skull to protect her son Jade from being molested by Winsor, Lutz reluctantly agrees to get rid of the body. As he becomes more involved with Meagan, Jade, and her other son, Obsidian, their menage looks to be turning into a family. But Meagan leaves with Jade's father, and the federales and the FBI enter to further complicate his life after an unidentified body washes ashore. Hasburgh tells a moving human story, but the surfeit of surfing lingo may bewilder readers unfamiliar with the sport.
