Hundreds of girls and young women are brutally killed or missing in Juarez, Mexico, and no one does anything about it. Most of the victims come from poor families. This explosive book reveals who is killing them and why. Across the border from El Paso, Texas, serial killers, drug dealers, gangs, and powerful men are getting away with murder. During this dangerous investigation, people wanting to help were killed or threatened. The shocking conclusions are revealed in this extraordinary book. The notorious crimes attracted the attention of human rights activists, and brought FBI experts, among others, to the border. The gruesome deaths led to a wave of terror among residents of Juarez as people on the U.S. side of the border looked on helplessly.
