In the blood-soaked ruins of post-Civil War Spain, aging rancher Don Tuco Francisco El Cadiz-once known as El Cuervo, the Crow, an obscure matador-clings to his ancestral hacienda. Ordered by Franco's victorious regime to deliver fighting bulls for the arenas or forfeit everything, Tuco must resurrect his scattered herd from the ashes of war while confronting the ghosts of betrayal, loss, and his own violent past.
But a far older enemy watches from the shadows: an elegant, mocking Gentleman with ravenous eyes and an obsidian ring, the living embodiment of every base temptation and ancient grudge. As Tuco rallies a ragtag alliance-a fierce Barcelona widow, a haunted orphan boy, and a loyal dog-he faces not only fascist enforcers and rival houses, but a supernatural reckoning that tests the very soul of a man who has slain bulls and buried sins.
God Loves Bad Men is a sweeping, mythic tale of redemption, courage, and defiance. In the timeless struggle between Moor and Matamoros, man and devil, one broken rancher discovers that even the damned can still choose to stand-and that grace may yet find the worst of us.
A powerful novel of faith, bulls, and unbreakable will.
