In the internationally bestselling author of the acclaimed novel The Power of the Dog comes The Cartel, a gripping, ripped from the news story of power, corruption, revenge, and justice spanning days gone by decade of the Mexican-American drug wars.

It’s 2004. DEA agent Art Keller has been fighting the war on drugs for thirty years within a blood feud against Advertisementán Barrera, the head of El Federación, the world’s most powerful cartel, and the man who brutally murdered Keller’s partner. Finally about The Cartel placing Barrera away price Keller dearly-the female he adores, the values he cherishes, the life he really wants to lead.

After that Barrera gets away, determined to rebuild the empire that Keller shattered. Unwilling to reside in a global with Barrera in it, Keller continues on a ten-year odyssey to consider him down. His obsession with justice-or is it revenge?-becomes a ruthless struggle that stretches from the cities, mountains, and deserts of Mexico to Washington’s corridors of capacity to the streets of Berlin and Barcelona.

Keller fights his personal fight against the devastated backdrop of Mexico’s drug war, a conflict of unprecedented size and viciousness, as cartels vie for power and he involves the ultimate reckoning with Barrera-and himself-that he often knew have to happen.

The Cartel is a true-to-life story of honor and sacrifice, as one man tries to face down the devil without shedding his soul. It’s the story from the battle on drugs as well as the men-and women-who income it.

“Don Winslow delivers his longest and finest novel yet in The Cartel. This is actually the War and Peace of dope war books. Tense, brutal, wildly atmospheric, stunningly plotted, deeply etched.”-Wayne Ellroy, NY Instances bestselling author
