Red Line

de Charles Bowden, James Galvin

In this powerful book, Bowden ventures through the Southwest in a tangled search for the truth behind the assassination of a murderous border-town drug dealer. Along the way he encounters high-rolling developers, ecological activists, a charismatic archaeologist-sage, and illegal aliens in a life-on-the-edge trek that brings you into a desert civilization careening out of control and decaying at its center.
