Bill HolmHungry Mind ReviewHe seems to me a literary descendant both of Henry Miller's mad and energetic jazz riffs...and the passionate rhetoric of James Agee'sLet Us Now Praise Famous Men,the frenzy to hold the reader's nose up to dark truth and to rub vigorously till it penetrates his senses., Susan Salter ReynoldsLos Angeles Times Book ReviewAs a writer seeking justice in his words, he is like a man clearing the brush, trying to break through, to get enough light and oxygen to see his trees and sky again before he goes back under., Donna SeamanChicago TribuneBowden writes with tremendous drama and verve...a major literary work of profound social consciousness...[He] is giving, compulsive, ruefully messianic, fearless and dazzlingly poetic. He writes with the intensity of Joan Didion, the voracious hunger of Henry Miller, the feral intelligence and irony of Hunter Thompson, and the wit and outrage of Edward Abbey...The heat of his tirade, the heady momentum and ravishing music of his ardent and expert prose, the piercing truth of his observations and strength of his convictions make the reader care too. This is gutsy, soulful, pyrotechnic, significant, and transformative writing., William KittredgeLos Angeles TimesBowden says what he means, hang the consequences. He is becoming one of our most important voices in the so-called New West., Ron HansenThe New York Times Book Review[A] thrillingly good writer whose grandness of vision is only heightened by the bleak originality of his voice.

Synopsis
SOMETIMES THE DEAD WON'T GO AWAY.Lionel Bruno Jordan was murdered on January 20, 1995, in an El Paso parking lot, but he keeps coming back as the skeleton key to a multibillion-dollar drug industry, two corrupt governments -- one called the United States and the other Mexico -- and a self-styled War on Drugs that is a fraud.Phil Jordan runs DEA intelligence, but when his brother Bruno is killed, he is powerless. Amado Carrillo Fuentes runs the most successful drug business in the history of the world, but when his usefulness to governments ceases, he mysteriously dies in a hospital. Carlos Salinas runs Mexico, but as soon as he leaves office, his brother is jailed for murder and Salinas flees into exile. Sal Martinez, DEA agent and Bruno's cousin, does the secret work of the U.S. government in Mexico, but when he seeks revenge for his cousin's murder, he is sentenced to a term in federal prison.Beneath all the policy statements and bluster of politicians is a real world of lies, pain, and money.Down by the Riveris the tale of how a murder led one American family into this world and how it all but destroyed them. Of how one Mexican drug leader outfought and outthought the U.S. government. Of how major financial institutions fattened on the drug industry. And how the governments of the United States and Mexico buried everything that happened.All this comes together down by the river, a place where the fictions finally end and the facts read like fiction. This is an unforgettable American story about drugs, money, murder, and family.
