"Thrilling. . . . Fast-paced. . . . Epic in scope." --The Denver Post

"The story is as addictive as its subject matter." --New York Post

"A miracle. . . . The best writing about Mexico by an Anglo since the days of Graham Greene. . . . [A] book you don't want to end. . . . There's no way you're going to find anything more compelling, more revealing about a major issue in society and more pulse-pounding in terms of action and
suspense than this. . . . Read it for its action, its insight into the drug underworld, its amazing prose. It's the one crime novel this year you absolutely can't ignore." --The Huntsville Times

"Provocative. . . . Convincing. . . . Every character, even those doomed to be quickly ground under the wheels of fate, is a living, breathing person. . . .

documentary and fiction." --Edge Boston

"Revelatory. . . . A dynamo of a book. . . . [Winslow] brings an intense realism to a pounding account of narco-trafficking across our southern border. . . . He fuels his narrative with conviction and rocket-engine pacing . . . [and] a splendidly realized cast of characters on both sides of the law. . . . If you like an adventure into the sacred or the untouchable, take this ride." --Entertainment Today
