At the dawn of Mexican Civil War two adversaries form a surprising bond in this “brutal and often stunningly brilliant novel” (Booklist, starred review).
 
Mexico, 1910. The landscape pulses with the force of the upcoming revolution, an atmosphere rich in opportunity for a criminal like Rawbone. His fortune arrives across the haze of the Sierra Blanca in the form of a truck loaded with weapons. But Rawbone’s plan spins against him when he’s caught smuggling the munitions across the border.
 
In the custody of the new formed Bureau of Investigation, Rawbone seizes his chance of immunity. The deal: continue along revolutionary road into the Mexican underground—under the command of El Paso’s BOI Agent John Lourdes. But Rawbone and Lourdes share more than a trek into dangerous territory. They share a game-changing past that only one man is aware of, paving the way for a “hallucinogenic epic . . . [and] one of the most exciting literary pairings since Fagin met Twist” (Todd Field, Academy Award nominated director of the forthcoming film version of The Creed of Violence).
 
“Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch, crossed with . . . Red Dead Redemption” (Crimespree Magazine) and set against a backdrop of intrigue, corruption, and the greed of war, The Creed of Violence “bears a distant-cousin relationship to The Treasure of the Sierra Madre . . . a crazy pleasure . . . rustic and roughhouse” (The Washington Post).
