When a new disappearance is reported, Kelly Courter, a washed-up Texan boxer, and Rafael Sevilla, a Mexican detective, are sucked into an underworld of organised crime, believing they can outwit the corruption all around.

Rezensionen

ve read in a long time. Based on the horrific true murders of those women, it is an instant classic.
The most stunning piece of work I'

A heartfelt book

the book roars into gear as a bluntly forceful hard-boiled thriller that also manages to address, movingly and respectfully, its troubling subject matter

A beautifully written and deeply affecting crime novel dealing with the wasted life of an American boxer in the city of Juárez, Mexico, the missing women of that city and ultimately a small amount of justice that is awarded them. Hawken writes with a maturity that is rare for a first novel, and achieves both a great crime novel and a work that transcends the genre. This is the real deal: tragic, dark, heartfelt. <i>The Dead Women of Juárez</i> deserves to be massive.

His debut novel is a hard-boiled plunge into damaged lives that grippingly evokes the dust, decay and pervading sense of death in Juárez, leaving you with a lingering sense of sweaty unease

A wondrous love affair between the washed up ex-boxer and the Mexican lady Paloma is epic and beautiful in its terrible foreboding.<br><br>This book will haunt you for a long long time and the dignity given to the mothers of the lost women is writing of a whole other dimension.</p>
