Description

Saint Death is a captivating thriller featuring migrants, drug lords and gang warfare that’s set on the US/Mexican border.

Anapra is one of the poorest neighbourhoods in the Mexican city of Juarez and twenty metres outside the town lies a fence, where beyond it you will find America. This book reflects upon the life of one migrant in particular, Faustino, who is trying to escape from the brutal gang that he has been working for.

Himself and his friend, Arturo, have only 36 hours to replace the missing money that they were supposed to be hiding. But now they are on the run and as good as dead.

Created by the winner of the Printz Medal, Carnegie Medal, Costa Book Award and Guardian Children’s Fictional shortlisted novelist, Marcus Sedgwick.
