This Is For The Mara Salvatrucha is the first non-fiction narrative about the MS-13. It tells the story of Brenda Paz, a young street gang member who betrayed her gang and became an informant, revealing a previously unknown threat across America.

More radio shows

It’s 5:45AM, and I’m preparing for the Elliot in the Morning radio show - DC101. It will be an hour-long live discussion, and my first in studio appearance so far. I’m sure we’ll talk about the book and MS-13, and I suspect we’ll talk about MS-13 activity in the southern Maryland area, especially around Langley Park.

You can listen live beginning 7:30AM, here.

Tomorrow, I’ll be on the Diane Rehm show with Sara Garland, author of Gangs in Garden City. I think they’ll have some FBI officials on the line as well, so it should be an interesting conversation. You can find the show here. We go live at 11AM EST.

    I listened to Elliot in the Morning and was so intrigued by the story that I had to find out more. Unfortunately, in the 30 minutes of the show I listened to on my way to work, I never once heard the name of the book. I came home and googled some of the key names I heard - Rodriguez, Brenda, Ignacio and MS-13 - luckily, it brought me to your site. In less than an hour, I’ve already emailed a co-worker about it and she emailed her husband. We can’t wait to read it!

    I listened to your interview on DC101 this morning and it was very informative and I’m very intrigued. I do remember the Brenda Paz story from the news and will be picking up your book after work today so I can read the background of her life. I lived in NOVA from 1994-2003 and knew there was gang activity but thankful never witnessed it. I’m glad to hear they aren’t as strong as they were.

    Thanks, Jenn, I hope you enjoy the book, and if you do, please tell others about it! Brenda was a very well loved young woman. If the MS-13 could happen to her, it could happen to anyone, unfortunately.
