Cruz: A Novel

"A slice of Argentine noir brilliantly translated from the Spanish by Mallory N. Craig-Kuhn, Cruz is a grimy, fast, violent narrative about debts, loyalty, bad decisions and two brothers who follow in their father’s criminal footsteps. With one brother in prison, the other takes on a difficult smuggling job for a drug lord to pay his brother’s debt – and fails. With his entire family in danger, he realizes the only way to keep violence at bay is more violence. Awash in drugs, cartels and guns, this propulsive read is not to be missed by fans of gritty crime fiction."
