Wrongfully imprisoned in a Mexican jail, outlaw-with-a-conscience Jess Galvan accepts a devil's bargain: transport a sinister package across the border for the jail's mythical - and terrifying - bogeyman El Cucuy. If Jess can survive and deliver the iron box in twenty-four hours, he will be free.But as Jess navigates the deadly desert, girls go missing and bodies begin to surface - an epidemic of crime that plunges small-town sheriff Bob Nichols into a monstrous investigation. For an ancient evil has awoken in the wastelands and quickly epic myth and human malice threaten the end of the world.

Reviews for Dead Run (#1 Jess Galvan)

"""An exciting tale, an action thriller heavily infused with paranormal elements ... The narrative twists among several disparate protagonists and keeps a lot of balls in the air without losing momentum. Highly recommended for readers of supernatural action and horror ... and fans of more general action stories."" -- Library Journal ""Both surreal and grounded in harsh reality, the novel is ambitiously plotted and powerfully written."" -- Booklist ""Irreverent and entertaining. It's a wild high-speed ride."" -- Shelf Awareness ""A taut and gritty adventure thriller with a supernatural element."" -- Publishers Weekly ""Although violent, The Dead Run is first-rate entertainment based on a fascinating cultural mashup."" -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer Praise for Adam Mansbach:""Mansbach has a talent for writing full, memorable characters that seem untidy and complex. The prose crackles with insight."" -- San Francisco Chronicle ""Total genius."" -- Jonathan Lethem ""Beautiful, funny, heartbreaking ...Very few writers could have attempted all this. Adam Mansbach succeeds, brilliantly."" -- Boston Globe ""One of the most ambitious, insightful, and daring writers of our generation."" -- Jeff Chang ""Exquisite. Mansbach's characters are sharply drawn."" -- New York Times Book Review ""Nothing has driven home a certain truth about my generation quite like this."" -- New Yorker ""One of the best thriller/horror hybrids to come along this year. ... a lean, intoxicating funhouse of a book that is difficult to put down."" -- Fearnet.com"
