Beneath all the policy statements and bluster of politicians is a real world of lies, pain, and big money. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDown by the River\u003c\/i\u003e is the true narrative of how a murder led one American family into this world and how it all but destroyed them. It is the story of how one Mexican drug leader outfought and outthought the U.S. government, of how major financial institutions were fattened on the drug industry, and how the governments of the U.S. and Mexico buried everything that happened. All this happens down by the river, where the public fictions finally end and the facts read like fiction. This is a remarkable American story about drugs, money, murder, and family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJournalist \u003cb\u003eCharles Bowden\u003c\/b\u003e has written eleven previous nonfiction books, including \u003ci\u003eBlood Orchid, Trust Me, Desierto, The Sonoran Desert, Frog Mountain Blues, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eKilling the Hidden Waters.\u003c\/i\u003e Winner of the 1996 Lannan Literary Award for Nonfiction, he lives in Tucson, Arizona\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 464\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.6 x 5.68 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 08, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51761480073504,"sku":"9780743244572","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/1a9ca079701f128126296f3fe3de3721.webp?v=1780208592","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/down-by-the-river-drugs-money-murder-and-family-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
