About This Book

"Phil Jordan runs DEA intelligence, but when his brother Bruno is killed, he is powerless. Amado Carillo Fuentes runs the most successful drug business in the history of the world, but when his usefulness to governments ceases, he mysteriously dies in a hospital. Carlos Salinas runs Mexico, but as soon as he leaves office, his brother is jailed for murder and Salinas flees into exile. Sal Martinez, DEA agent and Bruno's cousin, does the secret work of the U. S. government in Mexico, but when he seeks revenge for his cousin's murder, he is sentenced to a term in federal prison." "Beneath all the policy statements and bluster of politicians is a real world of lies, pain, and money." "Down by the River is the tale of how a murder led one American family into this world and how it all but destroyed them. Of how one Mexican drug leader outfought and outthought the U. S. government. Of how major financial institutions fattened on the drug industry. And how the governments of the United States and Mexico buried everything that happened."--BOOK JACKET.
