<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the award-winning, critically acclaimed Bowden comes a stunning work of reportage on Ciudad Juarez--the blood-soaked town caught in the crosshairs of Mexico's escalating drug wars.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>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.</b> <p/> In <i>Murder City</i>, Charles Bowden-one of the few journalists who spent extended periods of time in Juarez-has written an extraordinary account of what happens when a city disintegrates. Interweaving stories of its inhabitants-a beauty queen who was raped, a repentant hitman, 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. <p/> Heartbreaking, disturbing, and unforgettable, <i>Murder City</i> was written at the height of his powers and established Bowden as one of America's leading journalists.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Charles Bowden</b>, the recipient of a Lannan Literary Award and the Sidney Hillman Award, is the critically acclaimed author of numerous books, including <i>Down by the River</i> and <i>Some of the Dead Are Still Breathing</i>. He is a contributing editor for <i>GQ</i> and <i>Mother Jones</i>, and also writes for <i>Harpers</i>, the <i>New York Times Book Review</i>, <i>Esquire</i>, and <i>Aperture</i>.
