      publisher = {Atria Books,},
      abstract = {For more than twelve years the Mexican border city of  Juárez has been the center of an epidemic of horrific  crimes against women and girls: kidnappings, rape,  mutilation, and murder, with most of the victims conforming  to a specific profile--young, slender, and poor.  Speculation that the killer or killers are American  citizens has led the U.S. government to send in criminal  profilers from the FBI, but little real information about  this international atrocity has emerged. As of 2006 more  than 400 bodies have been recovered, with hundreds still  missing. Among the theories being considered are illegal  trafficking in human organs, ritualistic satanic  sacrifices, copycat killers, and a conspiracy between  members of the powerful Juárez drug cartel and some  corrupt Mexican officials who have turned a blind eye to  the felonies. This book is the first to examine the brutal  killings and draw attention to these atrocities on the  border.--From publisher description.},
