This is the untold story of the American federal agent who captured the world's 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,there's a Wyatt Earp,Pat Garrett or Slipper of the Yard. For Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán-Loera a.k.a.'El Chapo'- the 21st century's most notorious criminal - that man is D.E.A. Special Agent Andrew Hogan.
This is the incredible story of Hogan's 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 world's 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 Chapo's 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 world's most powerful drug kingpin.
