Juarez, Mexico, is murder city, so it's not surprising when an American real estate broker vanishes there without a trace. The only person who shows any interest in his disappearance is his brother, Jon. Oddly, Jon seems more intent on trying to go missing himself than he is in actually figuring out what happened to his sibling.
Within a matter of days, Jon is sucked into the violent and darkly humorous web of cartel warlords and free-trade profiteers in which his brother was tangled up. As he dodges threats in El Paso and across the river in Juarez, Jon is aided by an alcoholic Iraq War veteran, a disgraced narcotics detective and a local tejana - all of whom have scores of their own to settle with the narcotraficantes.
Jon finds himself strangely drawn by the danger and flux of the borderland, and he soon realizes that smack in the middle of a raging drug war might be the only place he's ever felt truly alive...but the longer he stays, the more likely he is to be added to the rapidly mounting body count.
Fast-paced, frightening, and at times hilarious, Send More Idiots is ripped straight from today's headlines about one of the most bizarre frontiers in the world.

A very visual tale, this would make a great movie. The characters are well-drawn with unique voices serving their own needs to carry the story forward. And this is a wild yarn; just when you think you've got the players figured out, a few more are added to the mix. If the details became a bit too confusing at times, not to worry, the author's sense of the bizarre would kick in and smooth things out again. This does seem ripe for the Coen brothers to film.

This is my first time reading this author (not sure if there are other books out) and I was impressed. I've never been to Texas, but the descriptions make me feel like I was right there. Recommended. (Amazon reviewed).
