A visceral, acid-soaked trip through Mexico's many underworlds: a debut novel by a crime writer of poetic genius.

Jaded reporter Andrew and his photographer boyfriend, Carlos, are sick of sifting the dregs of Mexico's drug war: from cartel massacres to corrupt politicians, they think they've seen it all.

But when they find a body even the police are too scared to look at, what started out as just another assignment becomes the sort of story all reporters dream of...
...until Carlos pushes for answers too fast, and winds up murdered, leaving Andrew grief-stricken and flailing for answers, justice, and revenge.

Industry Reviews

"Pacy and exciting... The novel is written ... lyrically, with an offbeat humour, which helps defamiliarise a situation to which Western readers have become inured, and communicate its horrors afresh."
Daily Telegraph

"Strong stuff... MacGabhann's blend of violent action and vivid, even lyrical description is laced with dark humour and is very readable."
Guardian
