The news is full of it: escalating tensions from illegal immigration, headless bodies hanging off bridges and bounties placed on lawmen on both sides of the border. In the midst of the turmoil, three very different kinds of Ohio cops scramble to maintain control and impose order. But the rape-murder of a Mexican-American woman triggers a brutal chain of events that threatens to leave no survivors. With its topical themes, shades-of-gray characters and dark canvas, El Gavilan is a novel for our charged times.
