Book description
Mexico border from each other. They share streets, share industry,
share crime. One gang claims territory in both: Los Aztecas. This single
criminal organisation is responsible for most of the homicides committed
in Ju?rez, and Felipe Morales is one of them. Recruited in prison, and
now on the streets of El paso, 'Flip' has no choice but to step further
into that world, but he has a secret that threatens his life. A witness
to murder and intimidation, he tries playing both the cops and the
outlaws in a bid to escape. On the American side, El Paso detective
Cristina Salas struggles to balance the needs of single motherhood with
those of life in the city's anti-gang unit. When her path crosses with
Flip, their relationship will spell the difference between a life behind
bars for the young gang member, a grisly death or freedom. Meanwhile,
Mexican federal agent, Mat?as Segura, must contend with the scourge of
Los Aztecas while coordinating a long-term operation with the American
authorities. The Aztecas, north and south, stand in the way of three
lives. They have no qualms about crossing the line, about killing, about
moving their deadly product, and it all comes together in a
confrontation where the stakes are, truly, a matter of life and death.
