About the book: 2022 / Noir thriller which tells about an Austin father who loses his job and health insurance, about his little daughter who has a terrible diagnosis - blood cancer and, finally, about his marriage, which is bursting at the seams. And then, in despair, Mario accepts an offer from a drug addict friend and begins a new life as a cartel hitman. This shift in the hero's outlook begins his journey through modern America, which combines horror and magical realism, reflections on religiosity and human cruelty, and social commentary on guns, the drug trade and resurgent racism. A cynical story about love, good and evil, seasoned with black humor and philosophy.
