When Wolves Gather John Howard

Los Lobos: their name means "The Wolves," and their powerful, secretive network carries out vendettas for the poor and powerless of Mexico. Don Francisco de Los Lobos, the ill and aging patriarch, needs help. The Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) has given rise to renegade criminals with no soul, Villistas who have killed many citizens and abducted dozens of young women from a village in the heart of Los Lobos territory. Don Francisco enlists his American brethren, remorseless former bounty hunters whose loyalty to Los Lobos is undeniable. They are joined by Don Francisco's nephew Juan Carlos, and by the extraordinary Ramona, a young Mexican woman as fierce as she is beautiful, who escaped the Villistas and has her own call to vengeance against Villa and his soldiers. Although they're outnumbered, the wolf pack will stop at nothing to track down their prey, save the abducted women, and avenge the Los Lobos family. Thrilling and colorful, When Wolves Gather is historical fiction at its best.
