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. New Austin, Ohio, is
a town grappling with waves of undocumented workers who exert
tremendous pressure on schools, police and city services. In the
midst of the turmoil, three very different kinds of 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. "El
Gavilan" is a novel of shifting alliances and whiplash switchbacks.
Families are divided and careers and lives threatened. Friendships
and ideals are tested and budding love affairs challenged. With its
topical themes, shades-of-gray characters and dark canvas, "El
Gavilan" is a novel for our charged times.
