Thirteen-year-old Boli's life changes forever when drug cartels come to his small Mexican town. When his parents fail to return from a trip, Boli is certain they have been murdered. He finds hope in an unlikely hero: a washed-up luchador (wrestler). Readers will root for Boli as he tries to save his town. A searing, violence-drenched depiction of the terror of the drug war. Glos.
