The riveting and suspenseful account of two young FBI
agents in a pursuit of a drug cartel's most fearsome leader,
Miguel Treviño
Drugs, money, cartels: this is what FBI rookie Scott Lawson
expected when he was sent to the border town of Laredo, but
instead he’s deskbound writing intelligence reports about the
drug war. Then, one day, Lawson is asked to check out an
anonymous tip: a horse was sold at an Oklahoma auction house for
a record-topping price, and the buyer was Miguel Treviño, one of
the leaders of the Zetas, Mexico's most brutal drug cartel. The
source suggested that Treviño was laundering money through
American quarter horse racing. If this was true, it offered a
rookie like Lawson the perfect opportunity to infiltrate the
cartel. Lawson teams up with a more experienced agent, Alma
Perez, and, taking on impossible odds, sets out to take down one
of the world’s most fearsome drug lords.
