3 Decades: In The Texas Badlands (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798496121545)

Artemio Garcia, Jr. writes about his life in the South Texas criminal underground where drugs, gangs, corruption, and cartels run rampant. Being born in a border town, he was cast into such culture and for 30 years this environment was his whole existence.
After having a gun put to his head on the school bus, he quickly learned survival required more than being a nice kid that followed rules.
The joining of a gang was for his own protection, and due to the lure of easy money, at the age of 15 he made his first trip smuggling drugs across the Rio Grande River.
In time, he was pulled deeper and deeper into the dark world of organized crime.
In his own words, the author regales the reader with harrowing events taken from first-hand experiences and observations.
3 Decades in The Texas Badlands is a chilling chronicle, taking the reader into the bowels of a lawless underworld in which violence, trafficking, and murder are the rule.
