Truly excellent read. Take a bit of Elmore Leonard's, mix it in with some Cormac McCarthy, and then throw in a dash of Stephen Graham Jones you'll get something approximating this book. Iglesias puts us into the mind of a man with little to lose that goes on a dark Wonderland journey straddling the US-Mexico border and all that complications that brings.
