Ciudad Juarez lies just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas.
A once-thriving border town, it now resembles a failed state.
Infamously known as the place where women disappear, its murder
rate exceeds that of Baghdad or Mogadishu.
In "Murder City," Charles Bowden has written an extraordinary
account of what happens when a city disintegrates. Interweaving
stories of its inhabitants--a raped beauty queen, a repentant hit
man, a journalist fleeing for his life--with a broader meditation
on the town's descent into anarchy, Bowden reveals how Juarez's
culture of violence will not only worsen but inevitably spread
north.
