CARTEL, THE by Don Winslow - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by Don Winslow.
From the acclaimed author of The Power of the Dog—and
continuing the gripping, harrowing story of the Mexican-American drug
wars that fueled it—an electrifying new novel that spans a deadly decade
and brings this tale of greed and corruption, revenge and justice,
heroism and deceit into the present moment.
It's 2004. El Federación, the most powerful drug organization in the
world, has been exploded and the Mexican drug trade has settled out into
several cartels that exist in a state of tenuous accord. The patron of
El Federación, Adán Barrera, is in solitary in a San Diego prison. Art
Keller, the DEA agent who put him there—and killed his two brothers—is
living at a New Mexican monastery, tending bees, the solitude and simple
truths of the place a powerful antedote to his former "life of lies."
But when Barrera negotiates a deal that lets him serve out his time in a
Mexican prison, a series of events is set off that undermines whatever
accord existed between the cartels, and a war of unprecedented scale and
viciousness erupts. And with Berrera back in the world that he once
owned and will do whatever he can to own again, Keller plunges back in
the game, playing, as he always did, by his own rules.
What ensues is an
all-out war with players—honest and corrupt, victim and perp—on every
level of society on both sides of the border. But it is also Keller's
personal war on drugs, his own addiction, and the question that hovers
above every move he makes: is he looking for justice or for revenge?
