Drug lord Miguel Angel Barrera is head of the Mexican drug federacion, responsible for millions of dollars worth of cocaine traffic into the US and the torture of those who stand in its way. His nephew, Adan Barrera, is his worthy successor. Art Keller is a US government operative, so determined to obtain revenge for a murdered colleague that his pursuit of the cartel veers dangerously towards an obsession outside the law. This is a world characterised by its brutality, yet all Winslow's incredibly varied cast - including a high class prostitute, an Irish hitman and a charismatic Catholic priest - are all in their own ways searching for salvation. Don Winslow's masterpiece is not only a page-turning thriller but also a rich and compelling novel in the league of an Ellroy or Delillo. Betegnelse: Handlingen i romanen strekker seg fra 1975 til 2004, fremveksten av det meksikanske narkotikaforbundet på 1970-tallet, Iran-Contras-skandalen på 1980-tallet, og de blodige narkotikakrigene på 1990-tallet. Den beveger seg fra Manhattans Hell's kitchen og Washingtons korridorer til Tijuanas gater og ørkenområdene mellom USA og Mexico. Blant personene rundt politimannen Art Keller og narkoarvingen Adán Barrera finner vi luksusprostituerte, en leiemorder og en katolsk prest.
