“A grisly yet compelling tale of impoverished Mexican-American youth molded into assassins… Slater adeptly develops a sprawling narrative regarding the "spillover" of cartel violence… In a milieu of well-developed characters on both sides of the law, Slater focuses on two strong personalities…Slater covers this difficult social landscape with an empathetic eye and careful prose, vividly rendering a border region of "extreme poverty and garish wealth…elaborate courtesy and low-barbarian violence." Engrossing and readable yet nightmarish vision of a hyperviolent and corporatized narcotics industry, seducing a new generation with minimal alternatives.”—Kirkus
