Fighting for Justice in Mexico

We’re proud to welcome Fernando León Torrens to the Indies United publishing family, a writer whose work blends investigative grit with emotional depth, illuminating the hidden forces that shape public life in Mexico.

Fernando’s path to authorship is rooted in a passion for truth-telling. His latest novel, Mortal Revenge, co-authored with Ana Manwaring, is a gripping legal thriller based on a true story. It explores the devastating ease with which federal and state authorities can be corrupted, even in a homicide investigation. Through this powerful narrative, Fernando invites readers to confront the fragility of justice and the resilience of those who fight for it.

His earlier work, Improving Public Health, is a bold investigative essay that exposes the systemic failures surrounding canine public health in Mexico. For years, Fernando has championed humane solutions to the street dog crisis, developing a painless and affordable sterilization technique and a scalable plan to treat and release male dogs. Despite its promise, his efforts have been repeatedly blocked by government corruption, undermining public health even as rabies reaches epidemic levels.

Fernando writes with the urgency of someone who’s lived the story, and the clarity of someone determined to change its ending. His work is a testament to the power of narrative to challenge systems, protect the vulnerable, and spark reform.
