Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Bestselling author Don Winslow presents a gripping novel about today's drug market and kingpins. Set in 2004, Ad#65533;n Barrera is in a California prison. His nemesis, ex-DEA agent Art Keller, spends his time at a monastery after having lost everything in his 30-year feud with Barrera. Barrera escapes and, even though there's a two million dollar contract on Keller's life, he's the only one capable of catching him. Amidst escalating violence, the two become embroiled in a struggle that takes them throughout Mexico and the United States.
Translation of: The cartel.
"El cártel es una colosal narración que se mueve entre los áridos escenarios mexicanos y los despachos de los poderosos en Washington, y que se extiende hasta ciudades europeas como Berlín y Barcelona. El absorbente trabajode documentación de Winslow (libros, prensa, fotos, vídeos, encuentros personales...) le ocupó cinco años, y marcó su vida personal por las implicaciones que acarrea adentrarse en un mundo tan increíblemente violento y corrupto."-- Provided by publisher
A drug lord's prison transfer to Mexico upsets a precarious balance of peace, forcing a DEA agent to come out of retirement to stop the ensuing violence.
2004. DEA agent Art Keller has been fighting the war on drugs for thirty years in a blood feud against Adán Barrera, the head of El Federación, the world's most powerful cartel, and the man who brutally murdered Keller's partner. Finally putting Barrera away cost Keller dearly-- the woman he loves, the beliefs he cherishes, the life he wants to lead. Then Barrera gets out, determined to rebuild the empire that Keller shattered. Unwilling to live in a world with Barrera in it, Keller goes on a ten-year odyssey to take him down.
