Billy has figured it out. How to live free. That’s "free" as in "it costs no money" at hotel buffets, fast-food drink fountains, beachside shower, his old van.... From the master of crime fiction comes an unexpectedly whimsical short story about this San Diego surfer whose life plan is working perfectly until he meets a wealthy woman at an art gallery opening (the hors d’oeuvres), falls in love, and then has to masquerade as an upstanding member of society. This O. Henry-style yarn will surprise and delight Don Winslow fans and short-fiction devotees alike
