Description:

Every generation has a larger-than-life criminal: Jesse James, Billy the Kid, John Dillinger, Al Capone, John Gotti, Pablo Escobar. But each of these notorious lawbreakers had a white hat in pursuit: Wyatt Earp, Pat Garrett, Eliot Ness, Steve Murphy. For notorious drug lord Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman-Loera-El Chapo-that lawman is former Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Andrew Hogan. This cinematic crime story showcases the relentless investigative work of Hogan, taking the reader behind the scenes of one of the most sophisticated and dangerous counter-narcotics operations in the history of the United States and Mexico. In a recasting of the classic American Western onto the global stage, Hunting El Chapo follows Hogan's quest to achieve the seemingly impossible, from infiltrating El Chapo's inner circle to leading a manhunt with an elite brigade of trusted Mexican Marines that ultimately brought the elusive and murderous kingpin to justice.
