Critics Review
It’s Pablo Escobar all over again
It’s Pablo Escobar all over again – Ralph Reyes * DEA Chief of Enforcement Operations *
Malcolm Beith risked life and limb to tell the inside story of El Chapo, the notorious drug capo. A novelist could not have presented a more intriguing or compelling tale of corruption, intimidation, murder, blood feuds, life-and-death negotiations, and the entrepreneurial skill of a near-mythic figure. Superb – Professor George W. Grayson
A brave and terrific headlong trek into the dangerous terrain of drug trafficking – Sam Quinones * Los Angeles Times *
Gracefully captures the heroic struggle of those who dare to stand up to the cartels, and the ways those cartels have tragically corrupted every aspect of Mexican law enforcement – Laura Bickford * Producer, ‘Traffic’ *
