What is El Camino Del Rio about?
"A richly imagined and terrifically realized novel...it rings as true as the winter light across the southern desert." -James CrumleyCircling buzzards lead U.S. Border Patrol agent Dolph Martinez to the corpse of a man executed in the desert...a murder that shatters the fragile calm in a dusty, Texas town. His investigation pits him against the Mexican Army, the DEA, big-money Houston real estate interests, a Catholic nun who practices voodoo, a charismatic revolutionary wanted on both sides of the border, and perhaps deadliest of all, the demons from his own, tortured past."Grit and grace in the face of troubling ambiguities in a moral borderland." -Publishers Weekly"Sanderson makes the gritty, thankless landscape of the border come alive, from the relentless heat to the failed hopes." -The Washington Post"Lean and lyrical." -The New York Times"Sanderson is especially good at contrasting the clarity and austere natural beauty of the Chihuahuan desert with the murky, Orson Welles aura that envelopes human society there." -Dallas Morning News
