From the internationally best-selling 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 30 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 10-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.

It's often heartbreaking, and infuriating, but no on can fault Winslow's character building, detail, & storytelling ability. Still, it's hard to consider the issues and not feel hopeless sometimes about the hypocrisy we live with every day and the toll taken on women and the impoverished. This book will resonate for months to come.

Would you listen to The Cartel again? Why?
Sure.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Cartel?
Chewy's custom soccer ball at the end.How did the narrator detract from the book?
The way he portrayed the female character's voices. They all sounded the same, like a typical male parody of an overly feminized voice. It's a shame because the women in this book are mostly tough and opinionated characters.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Pablo's decision to turn himself in - heartwrenching."We are all the Cartel"

There were times that I felt a little too much time was spent in the minds of the characters, but not so much that I skipped ahead. The book does have some gruesome moments. A couple of times I had to turn the volume down or hit pause because what I was happening was so horrific.
Overall it was a great book, especially if you are interested in the Mexican cartel.
