BAD KARMA: The True Story of a Mexico Journey from Hell

In the summertime of 1978, twenty-one-year-old Paul Wilson jumps on the likelihood to hitch two native icons on a dream surf journey to mainland Mexico, unaware their final vacation spot lies within the coronary heart of drug cartel nation. Having no earthly thought of the place he’ll get the cash to pay his share, and decided to show his mettle, he does the one factor he can consider: He robs a grocery store. And, if karma didn’t have already got sufficient motive to doom the journey, he quickly learns certainly one of his companions is a convicted killer on the run, and the opposite an unscrupulous cad. Mishap and misfortune rule the times, and mere survival takes priority over browsing.

Authentic pictures (together with pre-kingpin El Chapo), and Wilson’s sturdy narrative type, mix to make this true story private—within the custom of Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer, and Barbarian Days, A Browsing Life by William Finnegan—besides this story needed to look ahead to the statute of limitations to run out earlier than it may very well be instructed.
