ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Cartel” by Don Winslow explores the brutal and complex world of the Mexican drug trade, focusing on the violent conflict between powerful cartels and the authorities trying to stop them. The story follows Art Keller, a former D.E.A. agent, and his relentless pursuit of the infamous cartel leader Adán Barrera. As Keller grapples with the moral complexities of the drug war, the novel delves into themes of corruption, violence, and revenge. Winslow examines the personal toll of the war on drugs and the cyclical nature of violence, illustrating the human cost of both the cartels and those who oppose them.
