"A searing account of gang violence and its consequences . . . Macedo's grim story, expertly documented by Katz, cries for a documentary series to follow his fortunes as, after years in prison, he strives for redemption. A masterful work of true crime-and, to be sure, true punishment." -Kirkus Reviews (Starred review)

Baby-faced teen Giovanni Macedo is desperate to find belonging in one of LA's most predatory gangs, the Columbia Lil Cycos—so desperate that he agrees to kill an undocumented Mexican street vendor. The vendor, Francisco Clemente, had been refusing to give in to the gang's shakedown demands. But Giovanni botches the hit, accidentally killing a newborn instead. The overlords who rule the Lil Cycos from a Supermax prison 1,000 miles away must be placated and Giovanni is lured across the border where, in turn, the gang botches his killing. And so, incredibly, Giovanni rises from the dead, determined to both seek redemption for his unforgivable crime and take down the gang who drove him to do it.

With The Rent Collectors, Jesse Katz has built a teeth clenching and breathless narrative that explicates the difficult and proud lives of undocumented black market workers who are being extorted by the gangs and fined by the city of LA—in other words, exploited by two sets of rent collectors.

The story is about an underground world that only few truly understand. This audiobook paints an accurate of those realities. This story needs to be told to all at risk youth before they too become a statistic. Highly recommended. 5 stars.

Real, raw, and breathtaking

This book is a triumph. It is a story about a specific place and a particular person, but as all good stories it transcends the specific details of the events described.

So well researched

I'm here because I saw the author's interview on Soft White Underbelly. The author did his due diligence when researching this book. Well written.l and we'll researched.

Great Listen. Unique story.

When the acknowledgements bring on the tears, you know you've listened to a great book. While my journey from Southern California upbringing to Honduras (Peace Corps) to migration researcher in Mexico to sociology prof in a max correctional institution admittedly gives me a context advantage, anyone with an openness and curiosity around immigration, Latino culture, and the context of gangs and crime will "enjoy" this book. It's a heart-wrenching story. The characters are brought to life; indeed, it is nonfiction -- a true story, well researched, well written, and well told by the author.

Well researched and well told...

I wanted to read this, because I know nothing of this life and wish never to be closer to it than these words. The story, while tragic, is also fascinating, and I'm so glad I allowed myself to be educated and illuminated.

Illuminating
