Edited by Craig McDonald Welcome to La Frontera: You're headed way out west this time, intrepid reader, far past where you've dared go before.
Your troubled guides along these dusty, bloody stretches of The Devil's Highway are much-awarded crime novelists, journalists, and border-dwelling troubadours. They serve up stories and essays about lives threatened chasing the elusive, often deadly, dream of more money and better futures beckoning north and south of the border.
Emiliano Zapata declared, "It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees." In that spirit, these bards of the borderland are swinging for the barbed-wire fences: all swagger and dark visions, hell-bent on sweeping you along with them across the Rio Grande to a broken Promised Land.
Like treacherous Coyotes, they may gut-shoot you or break your heart in the crossing, but however it goes down, know these hombres are determined to make you feel it.
