Description:
Since 1993, over 600 young, poor, brown women have been found brutally murdered in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, across the border from El Paso, Texas, not including hundreds of others who have been reported missing and still have not been found. Desert Blood: The Juárez Murders (2005), by Alicia Gaspar de Alba, is a mystery novel about this more than 20-year crime-wave. The book has won both a Lambda Literary Foundation Award for Best Lesbian Mystery and a Latino Book Award for Best English-Language Mystery. The book has been translated into Spanish, Italian, and French.
