A man’s head is seen in the desert by a young man. He sees that the man is still alive so he digs him out and is taken to a church to recover as he was brutally beaten before being buried in the sand. He finds himself alive when he awakens but in much pain. The father has treated him and tells him he will take a long time to recover. The man was beaten and buried in the desert because he was a spy for the United States and was caught. He finds out that his family was killed.

Sacrifices of virgin women are given to the gods for success and wealth. Why does General Acosta believe in the Aztec gods? Why does G continue to fight the drug cartel? I am finishing what I have told you so far about the story as I don’t want to give away any spoilers.

The novel is full of action and adventure. The violence in this story is amazing. There is so much more to this novel as it involves religion, mythology, and culture plus so much more. Sadly this story is based on what is happening with drug cartels and Mexico. It is a story worth reading. At the end of the novel, the author tells you what was and wasn’t true. I found that quite interesting too.

This book is not for the faint hearted, it is quite graphic in its descriptions of violence. Not the sort of thing I normally read and I think it would appeal more to male readers. A good story and an interesting insight into Mexican drug dealers. The majority of which I wouldn't like to meet.
