The vicious Mexican cartel war boils over into the Big Bend in the explosive novel from the author of The Far Empty and High White Sun. In the Mexican borderlands, a busload of student protesters is gunned down in broad daylight, a violent act blamed on the Nemesio cartel. But its aging leader, Fox Uno, sees the attack for what it is: another salvo in the long-running battle for control of Nemesio itself; perhaps by a rival cartel, or maybe someone closer to home... Across the Rio Grande, Sheriff Chris Cherry and his deputies America Reynosa and Danny Ford find themselves caught in Fox Unos escalating war with the recent discovery of five dead men at the rivers edge. But when El Paso DEA agent Joe Garrisons own Nemesio investigation leads him into the heart of the Big Bend, hes not ready to accept the cartel leaders retreat or defeat. Not only does he suspect a high-profile drug task force in a neighboring county is corrupt, he cant shake lingering doubts about the loyalty and motives of the young deputy, Ame Reynosa. And he wont let Sheriff Cherry ignore them either. In this pitiless land its kill or be killed, where everyone will make one final bloody stand to decide the fate of Nemesio, the law in the Big Bend, and most of all, the future of America Reynosa.About author(s):J.
