  • 144 PAGES

A vivid, cynical portrait of Medellin, Colombia's second largest city and the stronghold of ruthless drug lord Pablo Escobar. The narrator returns to the town after a long absence to find it beset by horrific violence and a chilling indifference to death, where children are murdered along side gangsters and soccer games are more important than funerals.  (SAM100, $15.00)
