They call them el levantado, the lifted, those poor souls whom the Juárez Cartel takes and never returns.
After witnessing something he shouldn’t, Ellie’s husband becomes one of the levantado. With no help from the police and little hope from anyone else, she crosses the border from El Paso to search for answers.
Ellie gets a job as a mule for the cartel and quickly ascends the ranks. When weeks turn into months, recovery becomes revenge. Surviving requires smarts but thriving requires blood—only not hers.
To belong to the cartel is to lose her humanity—or her life. The two cannot coexist.
Genre: Mystery
