The Devil Takes You Home

Gabino Iglesias

Wildfire £20

Breaking Bad meets Stephen King in this coruscating thriller set on either side of the Mexican border. Mario was a regular guy working in insurance until his daughter became sick and the medical bills started to mount. He turns to the most violent of crimes to fund her care, planning to hijack a drug-cartel shipment. It’s not a scheme that was ever going to go smoothly, but Iglesias gives Mario’s desperate quest a truly nightmarish intensity.
