In the dark neighborhood known as the Badlands, a mother, Ofelia Santoro, rides her bicycle through the dark, decaying streets looking for her 14-year-old son, Gabriel. Set in a world where evil is so routine it becomes inevitable, Lopez's gritty novel brings home the violence that is scarring America's vast urban wastelands, and the humanity that might save them.
