CHILDREN of The DUST: Rise and Fall León Barcante

In the forgotten deserts of northern Colombia, a boy born into violence discovers a brutal truth early in life: power belongs to the men willing to take it.From the smuggling routes of La Guajira to the political salons of Miami, Havana, Panama, and Madrid, León Barcante rises from poverty to become one of the most feared and influential figures in the Caribbean underworld - a man capable of moving weapons, money, governments, and entire wars through invisible international networks.But empires built on fear eventually begin to collapse.As corruption spreads through banks, intelligence agencies, political systems, and criminal organizations, veteran investigator Gabriel Solano dedicates his life to hunting the man known only as The Rooster.What begins as a criminal investigation slowly becomes something far more dangerous: a journey into the hidden machinery connecting organized crime, global finance, covert operations, and political power.Dark, atmospheric, and deeply cinematic, Children of the Dust is an epic literary thriller about ambition, corruption, violence, and the systems that create monsters long before they condemn them publicly.
