THIS SIDE OF NIGHT
The vicious Mexican cartel war boils over into the Big Bend in the explosive new novel from the author of The Far Empty and High White Sun.
In the Mexican borderlands, a busload of student protestors is gunned down in broad daylight, a violent act blamed on the Nemesio cartel. But its aging leader, Fox Uno, sees the attack for what it is: the opening salvo in a power grab, perhaps by a rival cartel, or maybe by someone closer to home...
Across the Rio Grande, Sheriff Chris Cherry and his deputies America Reynosa and Danny Ford feel the reverberations of this escalating cartel war when they find five dead men on the riverbank. And when DEA agent Joe Garrison rolls into town, he adds fuel to the fire: not only does he suspect that a narcotics division in a neighboring county might be corrupt, but he has reservations about Ame Reynosa, who has suspicious family ties back in Mexico.
In this pitiless land it's kill or be killed, and these lives will converge in one last stand, a bloody firefight that will decide the fate of Nemesio, the law in the Big Bend, and most of all, of Ame Reynosa.
J. Todd Scott has been a federal agent with the DEA for more than twenty years, working cases investigating international maritime smuggling and domestic meth labs, and led a multiagency strike force dedicated to attacking Mexican cartel smuggling routes. He has a law degree from George Mason University and is a father of three. A Kentucky native, he now resides in the southwest, which provided the backdrop for his novels of the Big Bend. He is also the author of The Far Empty and High White Sun.
