“Blood in The Cut brims with dangerous energy in the face of existential entropy. A fantastic story.” —S. A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author of All the Sinners Bleed
“A confident, hard-boiled debut. . . introducing a new talent.” —South Florida Sun Sentinel
Iggy Guerra is out of prison, but his homecoming is anything but smooth. His beloved mother is gone, his grief-stricken father Armando is deep in debt, and they are about to lose the butcher shop that has been in their family for generations.
Iggy must earn his father’s lost trust in order to save La Carnicería Guerra from the threats imposed by a new rival business, a vigilante activist, and big-game hunter Orin, who has dragged Armando into his dangerous money-making schemes deep in the Everglades, where more than secrets are buried. Iggy will wrestle with the beauty and the danger of the place he calls home as he tries to save his family—without losing himself forever.
Sharp as a butcher knife gleaming in the Miami sun, Alejandro Nodarse's Blood in the Cut opens onto a deeply personal vision of the streets and swamps of Miami, where the roots are crooked but strong as mangroves.
Genre: Mystery

Praise for this book
"Blood in The Cut brims with dangerous energy in the face of existential entropy. A fantastic story." - S A Cosby
"Alejandro Nodarse's Blood in the Cut brings to vivid life a Cuban American world that has been invisible in literature-until now. A place of illegal hunters and deadly swamps, of competing allegiances and the violences at the brutal heart of exile. Mr. Nodarse writes with rare insight, sensitivity, and beauty. An extraordinary debut!" - Cristina García
