Down by the River by Charles Bowden
Offers an illuminating tour of the drug war, revealing the dark, troubling recesses of drug lords, high-level corruption, and ultra-violence that respects no borders.
Charles Bowden was for three years a reporter for the Tucson Citizen, an afternoon daily newspaper. His stories covered everything from murder to copper strikes to interviews with Santa Claus and politicians. He became acquainted with the scientific floor of desert understanding and the political tumult of desert development while a researcher at the Office of Arid Lands Studies at the University of Arizona. He now lives in Tucson as a freelance writer, a pastime he describes as practically a free ticket to the asylum. Nevertheless, he is author of Killing the Hidden Waters, Street Signs Chicago: Neighborhood and Other Illusions of Big-City Life with Lewis Kreinberg, and Frog Mountain Blues (with photographs by Jack W. Dykinga).
