- Information
Description
Ciudad Juárez lies just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas.
A once-thriving border town, it now resembles a failed state.
Infamously known as the place where women disappear, its murder rate exceeds that of Baghdad or Mogadishu.
In Murder City , Charles Bowden has written an extraordinary account of what happens when a city disintegrates.
Interweaving stories of its inhabitants- a raped beauty queen, a repentant hit man, a journalist fleeing for his life- with a broader meditation on the town's descent into anarchy, Bowden reveals how Juárez's culture of violence will not only worsen but inevitably spread north.
