Introduction
For this tale, I sought a lighter tone, though the subject matter is no less upsetting than in For Her Dark Eyes Only.
The drug wars of Mexico affect far more than the flow of drugs into the US. I’ve come back to this time and again in my stories, trying to somehow understand it, to somehow see some light in all of the darkness.
Do I blame the addicts in my country and others for creating the demand? Or the big pharma who helped so many become addicted? Do I blame the farmers in Colombia just trying to make a living? The cartels who control them? The transporters, the dealers, the warlords, the corrupt politicians… The list seems unending.
So, I chose to fight my small battles of hope.
For me, this concept goes back to long before I began writing.
I’m not some politician
