What is Do they know I'm running? : a novel about?

From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. Corbett (_Blood of Paradise_) delivers a rich, hard-hitting epic that illuminates the violent and surreal landscapes of Central America and Mexico. After 18-year-old Roque Montalvo's uncle, Faustino, an illegal Salvadoran immigrant, is deported in an INS sweep, Roque's criminal cousin, Pablo Happy Orantes, cooks up a scheme to smuggle Faustino back to California, along with a mysterious Palestinian asylum seeker, but it involves a hefty price to Latin American thugs. Happy strikes a deal with an FBI agent, offering up a major drug dealer for his family's citizenship papers. Roque travels from California to El Salvador, where he discovers that the gangsters want him to deliver a beautiful girl about his age, Lupe, to a vicious border crime leader. Roque and Lupe embark on an unforgettable journey north, pursued by banditos, police, and the FBI. Of course, Roque falls for Lupe and vows to help her escape a dismal fate. Fans of Luis Alberto Urrea and Don Winslow alike will be richly rewarded. (Mar.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From
