A potent, powerful and timely thriller about migrants, drug lords
and gang warfare set on the US/Mexican border by PRINTZ MEDAL
winning and CARNEGIE MEDAL, COSTA BOOK AWARD and GUARDIAN
CHILDREN'S FICTION PRIZE shortlisted novelist, Marcus Sedgwick.
Anapra is one of the poorest neighbourhoods in the Mexican city of
Juarez. Twenty metres outside of town lies a fence, and beyond it,
America - the dangerous goal of many a migrant. Faustino is one of
them, trying desperately to escape from the gang he's been working
for. He's dipped into a pile of dollars he was supposed to be
hiding, and now he's on the run. He and his friend, Arturo, have
only 36 hours to replace the missing money, or they're as good as
dead. Watching over them all the while is Saint Death. Santissima
Muerte. She of pure bone and charcoal-black eye, she of absolute
loyalty and neutral morality, holy patron to rich and poor, to
prostitute and narco-lord, criminal and police-chief. A folk saint,
a rebel angel, a sinister guardian.
