Set in the late 1950s, this novel follows Paul Kemp, a freelance journalist who relocates to San Juan, Puerto Rico, to work for a failing local newspaper. Amidst a backdrop of pervasive corruption, heavy drinking, and the disillusionment of expatriate life, Kemp navigates a volatile social landscape that serves as a precursor to the author's signature Gonzo style.
