Description
Set in northern Argentina, the gorgeous and gruesome story of two brothers following in their criminal fathers footsteps in a bloody battle to save their family from drug lords, perfect for fans of Don Winslow and Narcos.
Tom Cruz swore he would never be like his father, an abusive cocaine junkie whose gangland exploits are notorious throughout the underbelly of northern Argentina. When Samuel Cruz is sentenced to thirteen years in prison, he leaves a laundry list of unfinished cartel business. Seba, Toms revered older brother, has no choice but to abandon his straight life and take over his fathers underworld debt.
Now fifteen years has passed, Seba has been arrested, and the ruthless cartel boss is holding his wife and daughter as collateraljust in time for the holidays. Tom is forced to choose between protecting his family and his soul as he assumes the to-do list where Seba left off, plunging into the shocking depravity of the cartel to track a drug deal gone wrong. On a bloody quest for underworld justice that will take him from a nightmarish bar staffed by teenage sex slaves to the murky depths of the Paran River, Tom discovers himself capable of violence he never thought possible. He must ask himself if he really is his fathers son . . . and he may not like the answer.
Argentinian noir wunderkind Nicol Ferraros first novel to be translated into English, Cruz was a finalist for the prestigious Dashiell Hammett Award for Best Crime Novel.
