Description

Charles Bowden's Murder City is a haunting account of Ciudad Juarez, a border town that has descended into chaos. With its murder rate exceeding that of Baghdad, the city's culture of violence has become a major concern.

Bowden weaves together stories of its inhabitants, including a beauty queen who was raped and a repentant hitman, to reveal how the town's anarchy will not only worsen but inevitably spread north. A powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the consequences of violence and the breakdown of society.

This book is a deeply unsettling and unforgettable portrayal of a city in crisis, written at the height of Bowden's powers and cementing his reputation as one of America's leading journalists.
