Gringos is a 1991 book by Charles Portis and the author's fifth novel. It follows Jimmy Burns, an expatriate American, who during his adventures in Mexico encounters a female stalker, tomb-robbing archaeologists, UFO hunters, and a group of hippies.
Just finished this book. It is a good story. Especially if you are interested in ancient Mayan artifacts and archeology. But it was not as wild and funny as most of his other books. Much more like True Grit.
