A noir crime novel and finalist for the Silver Falchion Award for Suspense, Skin of Tattoos portrays a Salvadoran gang in Los Angeles as members battle each other for leadership while fighting rival gangs. Magdaleno thought he was done with the Cyco Lokos, the gang that framed him and sent him to prison. But Rico, his old nemesis, has other plans. Now Mags is trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse, where every move could be his last. He must choose between loyalty and freedom, revenge and redemption, in a world where the only way out is through sacrifice. Based on real-life stories of gang warfare in LA and San Salvador, this gripping novel exposes the harsh realities of immigrant families living in the shadows of the American dream.
