Official synopsis Publisher
An “irresistible” (Los Angeles Times), “riotous” (The Seattle Times) novel about the adventures of three men growing marijuana in Northern California, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Tortilla Curtain
“Consistently, effortlessly, intelligently funny.”—The New York Times
All Felix Nasmyth and friends have to do is harvest a crop of Cannabis sativa and half a million tax-free dollars will be theirs. But they haven’t reckoned on nosy Northern California–style neighbors, torrential rain, demands of the flesh, and Felix’s improbable new love, a wayward sculptress on whose behalf he undertakes a one-man vendetta against a drug-busting state trooper named Jerpbak. As their deal escalates through crises into nightmare, their dreams of easy money get nipped in the bud.
