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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUATB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48660371341567,"sku":"*R0123184*","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/5550\/7364\/files\/15415243482752.jpg?v=1781221625","url":"https:\/\/shop.onceuponatimebooks.com\/products\/gringos","provider":"Once Upon a Time Books AR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
