Summary:

In Ciudad Juárez, just across the Ria Grabde from El Paso, Texas, Sixteen-year-old Vicente and two of his high school friends murdered his mother, his father, and his little sister in cold blood. Reconstructing this seemingly incomprehensible triple murder, Sandra Rodríguez Nieto leads the reader on an exploration of Juárez and the drug cartels waging war on its streets, in a bold attempt to explain a seemingly inexplicable crime.
