2018., General, HarperCollins Publishers Call No: Bio E37h Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: The story of an American lawman and his dangerous eight-year hunt that captured El Chapo - the world's most wanted drug kingpin who evaded the law for more than a decade. Every generation has a larger-than-life criminal: Jesse James, Billy the Kid, or John Dillinger. Each of these notorious lawbreakers had a "white hat" in pursuit: Wyatt Earp, Pat Garrett, or Eliot Ness. For notorious drug lord Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmn-Loera - El Chapo - that lawman was former Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Andrew Hogan. In 2006, fresh out of the D.E.A. Academy, Hogan headed west to Arizona where he immediately plunged into a series of gripping undercover adventures, all unknowingly placing him on the trail of Guzmn, the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, a Forbes billionaire and Public Enemy No. 1. Six years later, as head of the D.E.A.'s Sinaloa Cartel desk in Mexico City, Hogan finds his life and Chapo's are on parallel paths: they're both obsessed with the details. In a recasting of the classic American Western on the global stage, the story of Hogan's quest to achieve the seemingly impossible, from infiltrating El Chapo's inner circle to leading a white-knuckle manhunt with trusted Mexican Marines - racing door-to-door through the cartel's stronghold and ultimately bringing the elusive and murderous king-pin to justice. Behind the scenes of one of the most sophisticated and dangerous counter-narcotics operations in the history of the United States and Mexico.
