MEET EL SICARIO.
A fugitive in the US with a $250,000 price tag on his head.

In grim and graphic detail he offers a series of confessions:
-- Why he first became involved with the cartels and how they operate
-- The most effective way to torture your victim
-- The corrosive experience of looking into someone's eyes as you strangle them to death
To read this book is to enter a world of terror and corruption and to understand the man who has seen it all and, for now, lived to tell the tale.

I bought the paperbook copy. it's an interesting man ( the sicario) telling his story of life as a hitman for the most powerful Cartel in north mexico. it's amazing how he survived in that city as a hitman for 20 years and not receive a bullet to his head. he must have been a pro.
