Down by the River Drugs, Money,
Murder, and Family

Simon &
Schuster 2002 |
Fine book in Fine minus jacket with slightest touch of rubbing on
panels, a tight unread copy signed by Bowden on the title page. Read
Bowden’s accounting of the ineptness and corruption of the US and
Mexican authorities in the multibillion dollar “war” on drugs and
you’ll be outraged – I am amazed that he hasn’t been assassinated,
given the depth to which he penetrated this dangerous border mess.
He is unique!
