Este libro cuenta la violencia de un narco rancho donde hacían rituales de santería y torturaban a secuestrados; de las comunidades indígenas que se resisten a dejar sus tierras a pesar de las amenazas; de las pandillas que le cortan los brazos a machetazos a la gente por no recibir la cuota; de quienes buscan a sus desaparecidos; de los migrantes en el calvario que viven al cruzar por México. Historias que coinciden en que el narco y su violencia son parte de su cotidianidad, pero en las que también hay espacio para la solidaridad y esperanza.

Story
One of America's most historic and enduring cities, New Haven has wrangled with a perpetual identity struggle, torn between worlds that occasionally converged in chaos and violence. In the 1930s, Connecticut became a region where Mafia families like the Genoveses, Gambinos, Colombos, and Patriarcas shared turf—working together with enough profits to go around or descending into open war to rival that experienced in any major city. Central to this conflict were three men who were, at different times, cautious allies or sworn nemeses.
