Critics Review
Fear Is Just a Word … offers a voice to the victims of drug violence without demonizing the perpetrators. As a longtime observer of Mexico’s drug wars I would place this book alongside the emotionally involving and sophisticated works of chroniclers like Marcela Turati, Sandra Rodríguez Nieto and the Sinaloa-based journalist Javier Valdez Cárdenas, murdered by gunmen in 2017. A harrowing account of one family’s struggle, it reads both as a thriller and as a moving work of reportage * Times Literary Supplement *
