Publisher's Summary

The Counsellor is the story of a lawyer whose desire to get rich, in order to impress his fiancée, leads him to become involved in a risky drug-smuggling venture. His contacts in the high-stakes cocaine trade are the mysterious Reiner and the seductive Malkina.

As the action crosses the Mexican border, things become darker, more violent, and more sexually disturbing than he could ever have imagined.

Confusing and boring

Weighty, confusing, boring, pretentious.
I well not be seeing the movie!
Maybe scripts just don't translate to audio books well.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
