Ojalá este libro fuera una ficción: un reportero que por azares del destino termina atestiguando un viaje mortal al centro de la noche. Pero todo es verdad. Cada palabra y cada personaje, cada persecución y cada sinsentido, terminan retratando el rostro más real de este México de balas y desesperación.

Así nació el diablo es la historia del Mawicho, que en el empeño de darle una mejor vida a su hija terminó yéndose a un campo de entrenamiento del Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación. Es la historia de Mauricio, que salió de su barrio bravo a balear a dos israelíes en Plaza Artz, revelando una red criminal de escala bicontinental.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This journalistic endeavor reads as a noir novel. A young man walks a path that eventually takes him deep into the dark. This story should have been just a bad dream about a merciless city that leads a simple drug dealer to perpetrate a double murder, with international consequences.

This book was supposed to be fiction: the story of a journalist who, by mere chance, ends up covering a deadly trip to the very heart of the night. But it is all true. Every word and every character, every hunt and every pointless situation, shape the portrait of a desperate, gunned down Mexico.

And Thus the Devil was Born is the story of Mawicho. Who ends up going to a training camp of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, while trying to give his daughter a better life. It is the story of Mauricio, who left his rough neighborhood to shoot two Israelis in Plaza Artz, thus exposing a criminal network on a bicontinental scale.
