The remarkable true report of two brothers living parallel lives on either area of the US-Mexico boundary - and exactly how their lives converged in a significant criminal conspiracy. José and Miguel Treviño were bonded by blood vessels and a distributed vision of an improved life. However they chose different paths that would end at the same violent crossroads - with significant help from the FBI and an enigmatic, all-American snitch. José was a devoted family man who minimize no corners in his quest for the American dream. Created in Nuevo Laredo, a Mexican boundary town on a crucial smuggling course, José was one of 13 children increased by a hardworking ranch side. He was raised caring the sprawling countryside and its own tough, fast 1 / 4 horses, however in search of opportunity he crossed the boundary into Texas to consider work as a bricklayer. He stored his nostril clean. He remained out of trouble. Back Mexico, José's more radiant brother Miguel was leading another type of life. While José battled to make ends meet, Miguel ascended to the most notable ranks of Los Zetas, a notoriously bloody medicine cartel - his crimes had become the stuff of legend and misconception on both edges of the boundary. He was said to have burned rivals alive, murdered Mexican and American law enforcement officials, and launched grenades at a US consulate. José, committed with kids and today a US resident, gave every indicator of rejecting his brother's unlawful lifestyle. Then one day he showed up at a quarter-horse public sale and bid near to a million us dollars for a horses - the major amount ever payed for a quarter horses at an public sale. The humble bricklayer quickly became a significant player in the quarter-horse racing landscape that thrived in the American Southwest and Mexico. That trapped the attention of the willing young FBI agent known as Scott Lawson. He enlisted Tyler Graham, an American rancher who eventually breed José's champion horses - nicknamed Bones - to help the FBI infiltrate that which was revealing itself to be always a major money-laundering procedure, with the best goal of taking the infamous Miguel Treviño. Joe Tone's riveting, exquisitely split crime narrative, place up against the high-stakes world of horses racing, can be an intimate report about family, loyalty, and the tragic costs of the failed drug war. Compelling and complex, Bones sheds light on the perilous lives of American ranchers, the morally dubious machinery of medicine and boundary enforcement, and just how greed and fear mingle with race, class, and violence along America's great Southwestern border.
