Acceptable Sacrifice 

They call him ‘Cuchillo’ the Knife. Not because he kills with a blade he has plenty of men to do that kind of work for him but because his mind is so sharp. As Mexico’s government wages war on the drug cartels, it takes brains to survive, and Cuchillo has not just survived he has prospered. But when Cuchillo begins to cut too deeply, the federal police of both the United States and Mexico step in to dull his blade. P. Z. Evans and Alejo D az know the Hermosillo cartel is planning an attack on a tourist bus in Sonora, and they know they will have to capture or kill Cuchillo to stop it. The cartel leader has just one weakness: rare and ancient books. To destroy the intellectual’s evil empire, this unlikely pair of policemen will have to appeal to his inner bibliophile.
