Fiction
Jimmy Burns is an expatriate American living in Mexico who
has an uncommonly astute eye for the absurd little details
that comprise your average American. For a time, Jimmy spent
his days unearthing pre-Colombian artifacts. Now he makes a
living doing small trucking jobs and helping out with the
occasional missing person situation—whatever it takes to
remain "the very picture of an American idler in Mexico,
right down to the grass-green golfing trousers." But when
Jimmy's laid-back lifestyle is seriously imposed upon by a
ninety-pound stalker called Louise, a sudden wave of
"hippies" (led by a murderous ex-con guru) in search of
psychic happenings, and a group of archaeologists who are
unearthing (illegally) Mayan tombs, his simple
South-of-the-Border existence faces a clear and present danger.
