By (author): Andrew Hogan Douglas Century
This is the untold story of the American federal agent who captured the worlds most-wanted drug-lord.
Every generation has its larger-than-life criminal legend living beyond the reach of the law: Billy the Kid, Al Capone, Ronnie Biggs, Pablo Escobar. But for every one of these criminals, theres a Wyatt Earp, Pat Garrett or Slipper of the Yard. For Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán-Loera a.k.a. El Chapo the 21st centurys most notorious criminal that man is D.E.A. Special Agent Andrew Hogan.
This is the incredible story of Hogans seven-year-long chase to capture El Chapo, a multibillionaire drug-lord and escape-artist posing as a Mexican Robin Hood, who in reality was a brutal sociopath responsible for the murders of thousands. His greedy campaign to take over his rivals territories resulted in an unprecedented war with a body count of over 100,000.
We follow Hogan on his quest to achieve the seemingly impossible: to cross the border into Mexico and arrest El Chapo, the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, a billionaire and Public Enemy No. 1, who had been evading capture for more than a decade and had earned a reputation for being utterly untouchable.
This intimate thriller tells how Hogan single-mindedly and methodically climbed the ladder within the hierarchy of the Sinaloa Cartel the worlds wealthiest and most powerful drug-trafficking organization by creating one of the most sophisticated undercover operations in the history of the D.E.A. From infiltrating Chapos inner circle to leading a white-knuckle manhunt with an elite brigade of Mexican Marines, Hogan left no stone unturned in his hunt for the worlds most powerful drug kingpin.
