A Smart Man Would Bet On The Drug Lords

Somewhere on the US-Mexico border, a lawless drug-warring border town, Nuevo Laredo. Like turds in the bowl, tumbleweeds roll ominously down the empty dusty streets and under the awning of a pharmacy, a bandit nestles with AK-47 to keep warm as the sun begins to set.

But Omar Pimentel . . . he's the new sheriff in town. He "has three young children and his wife is pregnant" and he "might struggle to stay alive." His predecessor, a distant memory, was gunned down, "sprayed with bullets," only seven hours after taking the top-cop spot.

But Pimental is the Eastwood of the borderlands, though he "might struggle to stay alive." The only cop left in town, a town where 500 people this year have been murdered in the rival cartel drug wars, and "the entire city police force was suspended for investigations into the links between local cops and the drug gangs." He must somehow become more than just a cop.

Pimental has only the support of el Presidente, who has promised "mother of all battles" against the cartels . . . but the murders have continued. --Kid Dig It
