Some people say pro wrestling is fake--Krysten Moore knows better. Hungry for a better life, shy, dog-loving Krysten reinvents herself as a fierce lucha libre star in Mexico. In the gym, she trains against her inner demons and physical blows to distance herself from weakness. But when her trusted trainer--once a wrestling legend--betrays her with brutal violence, her dream career becomes a fight for survival against the corruption of prevailing champions. From the shadows of El Paso to the blood-soaked rings of Juarez, Krysten's quest for vengeance explodes into a bloodthirsty war against corrupt promoters, cartel killers, and anyone complicit in her abuse. Armed with grit, female rage, and her wrestling persona, she delivers her own brand of vigilante justice--one bone-crushing blow at a time. Consensual Violence is a relentless tale of revenge, redemption, and the dark underbelly of lucha libre, from Del James, author of The Language of Fear.
