The Call Him Mine series consists of two literary thrillers set in Mexico and Central America. Author Tim MacGabhann draws on his own years as a journalist in the region to create fiction that feels uncomfortably close to real events.
Call Him Mine (2019) opens in Poza Rica, Mexico, where the narrator Andrew and his photographer Carlos find a body that even the local police are afraid to examine. Their investigation leads them deeper into cartel territory and government corruption until Carlos pays the ultimate price. How to Be Nowhere (2020) finds Andrew trying to rebuild his life in Uruguay, only to be dragged back into the chaos by the same people who destroyed it. The second book has been called a literary take on the chase movie, moving through Central America at a pace that matches the danger closing in on its characters. Together, the two novels tell a story about the human cost of reporting on violence in places where the truth can get you killed.
