Dead I Well May Be by Adrian Mckinty
Crime boss Darkey anoints Michael - an illegal immigrant escaping the troubles in Belfast - his rising star. But when Michael seduces his boss' girl, things quickly go south - south to Mexico. Double-crossed and left to die in a Mexican prison, Michael plots his return to New York, there to wreak terrible vengeance on his betrayers.
