SynopsisThe definitive account of the rise and fall of the ultimate narco, "El Chapo," from the New York Times reporter whose coverage of his trial went viral. Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman is the most legendary of Mexican narcos. As leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel, he was one of the most dangerous men in the world. His fearless climb to power, his brutality, his charm, his taste for luxury, his penchant for disguise, his multiple dramatic prison escapes, his unlikely encounters with Sean Penn--all of these burnished the image of the world's most famous outlaw. He was finally captured by U.S. and Mexican law enforcement in a daring operation years in the making. Here is that entire epic story--from El Chapo's humble origins to his conviction in a Brooklyn courthouse. Longtime New York Times criminal justice reporter Alan Feuer's coverage of his trial was some of the most riveting journalism of recent years. Feuer's mastery of the complex facts of the case, his unparalleled access to confidential sources in law enforcement, and his powerful understanding of disturbing larger themes--what this one man's life says about drugs, walls, class, money, Mexico, and the United States--will ensure that this is the one book to read about "El Chapo.", Marston and Potash plugged in Guzman's name wherever the PIN appeared, and a whole new world emerged. They read about the kingpin's home renovations and the plastic surgeries he had purchased for his mistresses. There were glimpses of his lawyers, his pilots, his father-in-law, even of his young wife, Emma Coronel, giving voice to their twin infant daughters, Kiki and Emali. 2:07 p.m.: I want my little princesses here to fix my meals. 2:08 p.m.: Yes, daddy. What do you want us to make you? Enchiladas? Or maybe it's best if mommy makes them for you, after all, it was her enchiladas that made you fall in love with her. Surfacing from all of this, Marston and Potash were dazzled. They had jumped into the FlexiSPY data thinking they would come out with a negative of the kingpin. Instead, they had stumbled onto what amounted to a high-resolution color portrait. It simply hadn't occurred to them that the programs malware would have picked up Guzmán's own texts along with those of all of his many targets. But there they were, exposed for all to see and still stored in the system. The two of them could not believe their luck-or his stupidity. In his fits of suspicion, Guzmán had managed the impossible. By wiretapping everyone around him, he had accidentally wiretapped himself.
