"Wellenjagd" erzählt die die Geschichte von Ike Tucker, einem jungen Mann aus der kalifornischen Wüste, den es auf der Suche nach seiner Schwester an die Küste verschlägt, wo er unter Surfern und Rockern in einen Sumpf aus Drogen, Pornografie und Gewalt gerät und schießlich einem furchtbaren Geheimnis auf die Spur kommt. Kem Nunn, geboren 1948 in Kalifornien, schrieb zahlreiche Romane, von denen die meisten in der Surferszene Kaliforniens spielen. Sie sind düster, voller Gewalt und Verbrechen, aber auch geprägt von politischer und kultureller Kritik an den Verhältnissen in Kalifornien.
