À propos de cet audio

From the internationally bestselling author of the acclaimed novel The Power of the Dog comes The Cartel, a gripping, ripped-from-the-headlines story of power, corruption, revenge, and justice spanning the past decade of the Mexican-American drug wars.

It’s 2004. DEA agent Art Keller has been fighting the war on drugs for thirty years in a blood feud against Adán Barrera, the head of El Federación, the world’s most powerful cartel, and the man who brutally murdered Keller’s partner. Finally putting Barrera away cost Keller dearly—the woman he loves, the beliefs he cherishes, the life he wants to lead.

Then Barrera gets out, determined to rebuild the empire that Keller shattered. Unwilling to live in a world with Barrera in it, Keller goes on a ten-year odyssey to take 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 power to the streets of Berlin and Barcelona.

Keller fights his personal battle against the devastated backdrop of Mexico’s drug war, a conflict of unprecedented scale and viciousness, as cartels vie for power and he comes to the final reckoning with Barrera—and himself—that he always knew must happen.

The Cartel is a true-to-life story of honor and sacrifice, as one man tries to face down the devil without losing his soul. It is the story of the war on drugs and the men—and women—who wage it.

Part of a great trilogy. Winslow tells great stories and Ray Porter is my favorite narrator.

Great Don Winslow and Ray Porter

this was a great listen. great story. I learned so much. I appreciated the accents, and very clear distinction between people's voices (there are a ton of characters) and especially the writing that seemed to change cadence with particular characters (especially Eddie Ruiz). jumped right into the third book after this one (border). didn't read the first cause I was told it was a bit too graphic. even in this there are scenes that I might not be able to forget...

Can't stop thinking about this book

Story was excellent. The author must have done quite some research when writing this book. The narrator did an excellent job and pronounced the Spanish words very well. Would certainly recommend.

A great and gruesome book of the the Cartel.

A very good Part 2 to the trilogy of the Mexican tragedy that is the drug cartels. If one is aware through the media of what happened and is happening in Mexico regarding the violence surrounding the drug trade, this book nails it in realism. The violence is unrelenting and graphic. As with other books, Don Winslow has clearly done his research.

The narration by Ray Porter is superb. Enough said.

Great story reflecting reality

This is a great novel about the drug trade and drug enforcement over the 1980's to the new Millennium. Great characters because you care about their lives. This novel shows the how grey the War on Drugs was and still is. Good guys need to be bad. Bad guys can be good. The American appetite for drugs keeps the money and drugs flowing. Ray Porter is terrific is always. Perfect voice for this Audio Book. The book takes a lot out of you by the time you finish, but it was well worth the time.
