The Black Hand: The Bloody Rise and Redemption of "Boxer" Enriquez, a Mexican Mob Killer

Pick this up if you're interested in how the M works

Boxer ALMOST tells all! Which is alot since not many dropouts reveal information on how their gang operates. Very insightful, especially for anyone studying criminal justice, involved in law enforcement, or just interested in reading about stone cold killers. Not praising what he did in life, but lets the reader know there's heartless killers out there.

Interesting

Definitely worth taking a look at. Well written and it is hard to put down this book. It goes beyond the basic details and takes you into the particulars.

Response to Rene "Boxer" Enriquez

I've beeb trying to locate this book at the book stores, but every time that I ask for it, they don't have one at hand. But I personally know Rene and have known him for quite some time now. I'm sure this book will scare alot of you, and it should. My husband was also a member of this organization, except for He didn't have the opportunity to walk away from them. He's been gone for 13 years this coming April 28th. I'm glad that Rene got out from this family. I also want everyone to know that alot of these guys involved with the "M" do have hearts and do care for others, they're not all killers without feeling. I know, because if it wasn't for Rene and a couple other of my homeboys that still belong to the "M", I wouldn't be here today, if it wasn't for their love and protection over me. Like everything in life. Belonging to the "M" has it's pro's and con's. But when all is said and done, we are all humans and we all make mistakes. Just try to be one of the one's that don't make this type of mistake, because this type of mistake can devistate your whole family and turn their world upside down in a wink of and eye. I know this for a fact. I still love you Rene and pray for you every day. Your status and where you are at will never change the way I feel for you and everything you did for me. May God Bless You.

response to rene's book

This book was very intresting i could not put it down. It really scared me because they hurt innocent people for nothing, they don't even give you a opprotunity to defend the truth than a lie and that is really sad.
Thank GOD that Rene had the courage to leave evil behind.

Very Informative

Well written.

Could not put down the book

I read the free preview and loved it. I have not been into a book like this since i was 17,im 31 and wow. I have read 32 chapters in one day. I really recommend this book to anyone i know you'll enjoy it.

La Eme

The black hand is a great story. I question some of Enrique's accuracy if for no other reason than the Junkie factor.

THE BOOK IS GOOD (LOS ANGELES AREA)

Im from the Los Angles area
I like Chris Blatchford he is a good person and is always covering the Mexican Mafia stories on FOX 11 in the Southern California area and the thing is he makes people in the book seem hardcore criminals and they may be but it seems like he goes over board my uncle is Cowboy from EastSide Clover (ESC) gang in the East Los Angeles area and in the book it states "Cowboy was a terror back then. He wanted to stab someone everyday." (Blatchford) Yes he was crazy but not as described in the book he is serving a life sentence in up Fresno for robbery and led the Fresno Police Department on a pursuit after the robbery

Great

You will not put down this book. Great insight to the mafia and the politics involved in it

Great and Insightful Book

This is a very well written and insightful book of the actual life that havent's in prison and the everyday life of a mafiso.

Wow!

This book is a brutal look at gang activities that had an impact on almost everyone's lives in So Cal in the 80's and 90's. What I was most impressed with was how candid Rene was about what the shot callers are really about. He does a great job explaining hwo it really works and how it all really happens. I think Rene's book shows that you can't lump people into categories as easily as we think (vis a vis psychology and criminal justice). Human beings are much more complex, and this book captures just how complicated things can get for those of us who made similar choices in life. I would recommend this book for anyone who is battling a drug problem, who is involved in gangs, who is incarcerated, or who wants to work with those types of people in any capacity.

I have never been a fan of becoming an informant PERIOD! But, things aren't like they used to be. The cops have figured out how to penetrate all criminal organizations because, frankly, every one wants to be comfortable and feel like they have accomplished something in their older years. No one wants to be old and still looking over their shoulder all the time. Among many other valuable things, this book gives a tremendous insight as to why these organizations become vulnerable to informants. Read it!

WHAT A ZERO

RENE, KILLED A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE, WHO WE MISS SO MUCH, I WOULD NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH. AND THEN HE FEEDS IT TO THE "LAW" WHAT A JOKER. THATS ALL OLD AND GONE SO WHAT UPDATES CAN HE GIVE ??? HE SHOULD BE TRYING TO SAVE HIS SOUL.
