March 27th, 2016. On the covered footpath of the Matamoros international bridge, Miriam Rodriguez stood amidst a dense stream of pedestrians attempting to cross the border from Mexico to Texas. Among the vendors taking advantage of the heavy foot traffic and close quarters, was her target — A young man selling bootleg discs, and one of the cartel members who had taken her daughter two years earlier.
At this point, Miriam had no idea if she was even still alive. She had hope, but logic said otherwise.
Regardless of whether she would ever see her daughter again, Miriam was determined to get the justice that police had been so unwilling to serve.
So far she’d been successful. Because of her, six members of the cartel were either dead or behind bars.
And now, as she held the thirty-eight caliber pistol in her coat pocket, it was time #7 got his.
Miriam had cornered her prey.
On either side, chain link fences separated the narrow walkway from the bridge’s vehicular traffic and the drop to the Rio Grande below. Ahead was the United States border security.
This meant that when the cartel member noticed Miriam staring at him and decided to drop his goods and run, the only way out… was through her.
This is the story of cartel hunter Miriam Rodriguez, a mother on a quest for truth, justice, and revenge.
