You know those books that inspire you because you loved the story and the words used to tell it? You can simply see that the author found the best possible way to roll out the story to you. This is one of those novels. Mr. Iglesias uses beautiful phasing to tell a brutal story that treads genre lines in ways I'm not sure I've seen done before. More simply you like horror? You like crime fiction? You like international thrillers? Have a religious bent or love the harsh beauty of the border? Get it. Read it. Love it.
