Suspense
Malia needs to leave El Salvador. A surfer and aspiring
engineer, she came to Central America as a Peace Corps
volunteer and fell in love with Ben. Malia's past year has
been perfect: her weeks spent building a much-needed
aqueduct in the countryside, and her weekends spent with
Ben, surfing point-breaks in the nearby port city of La
Libertad. Suddenly, a major earthquake devastates the
country and brings an abrupt end to her work. Ben and Malia
decide to move on. Now free of obligations, they have an old car, a wad of
cash, surfboards, and rough plans for an epic trip through
South America. Just as they’re about to say goodbye to their
gritty and beloved Salvadoran beach town, a mysterious
American surfer known only as Pelochucho shows up—spouting
grandiose plans and persuading them to stay. Days become weeks; documents go missing; money gets tight.
Suddenly, Ben and Malia can't leave. Caught between bizarre
real estate offers, suspect drug deals, and internal
jealousies, this unlikely band of surfers, aid-workers, and
opportunists all struggle to find their way through a fallen
world, in Kilometer 99 by Tyler McMahon.
