Book ID/图书代码: 06580014B71574
English Summary/英文概要: All Tod remembers when he wakes up next to a dead prostitute is that he had his first shot of heroin the night before. He and his wife, Linda, were partying with their new neighbors, a trio of parole violators who fled to Mexico after robbing a Beverly Hills jewelry store. Now the place is empty, stripped clean except for Tod’s hunting knife, which is covered in blood. Did he kill the woman, or was he left behind as the fall guy? Convinced that his junkie friends abducted Linda to keep her from talking to the police, Tod buys a gun and prepares himself to do whatever it takes to get his wife back before he makes a run for the border.
By turns chilling and humorous, Mañana marks the return of a stylish thriller writer as he shines a light on 1960s counterculture and the dark recesses of the human mind and heart.
