Oscar Martinez, author of The Beast, which was named one of the best books of the year by the Economist and the Financial Times, shares a beautiful and immersive account of life in one of the most violent places on earth. Martinez travels to Nicaraguan fishing towns, southern Mexican brothels where Central American women are trafficked, isolated Guatemalan jungle villages and crime-ridden Salvadoran slums. With his precise and empathetic reporting, he reveals the underbelly of some of the most dangerous places in the world, going undercover to drink with narcos, accompanying police patrols, riding in trafficking boats and hiding out with a gang informer. The result is an unforgettable portrait of a region of fear, helping to explain why migrants have been fleeing the area by the millions"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 303.60972 Martinez Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 303.60972 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.60972 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.60972 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 303.60972 Ma missing from shelf Add Copy to MyList
