Saguaro Riptide
Welcome to the Saguaro Riptide Motel...
It's a seedy little surf joint in Arizona where the not-so-elite meet – for the biggest disharmonic convergence since the invention of gunpowder. Ex-boxing champ Jack "Battle-Ax" Baddalach will be there. So will Muslim hit man Woodrow Saad Muhammad. Sheriff Wyetta Earp is due as well, she of the black belt and bad manners. And Major Kate Benteen, a bikini-clad war hero who was once an Olympic diver, is in room 23. Between them, they've got lots of fingers in a two-million-dollar mafia pie. Everyone wants the cash. Everyone's got a gun. And not even a guest appearance by a shotgun-toting Elvis impersonator will keep things from getting ugly...
