Resumen del Editor

A blend of Manhunt, Killing Pablo, and Zero Dark Thirty, Andrew Hogan and Douglas Century's sensational investigative high-tech thriller - soon to be a major motion picture from Sony - chronicles a riveting chapter in the 20th-century drug wars: the exclusive inside story of the American lawman and his dangerous eight-year hunt that captured El Chapo - the world's most wanted drug kingpin who evaded the law for more than a decade.

Every generation has a larger-than-life criminal: Jesse James, Billy the Kid, John Dillinger, Al Capone, John Gotti, Pablo Escobar. But each of these notorious lawbreakers had a "white hat" in pursuit: Wyatt Earp, Pat Garrett, Eliot Ness, Steve Murphy. For notorious drug lord Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán-Loera - El Chapo - that lawman is former Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Andrew Hogan.

In 2006, fresh out of the DEA Academy, Hogan heads west to Arizona, where he immediately plunges into a series of gripping undercover adventures, all unknowingly placing him on the trail of Guzmán, the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, a Forbes billionaire, and public enemy number one in the United States. Six years later, as head of the DEA's Sinaloa Cartel desk in Mexico City, Hogan finds his life and Chapo's are, ironically, on parallel paths: They're both obsessed with the details.

In a recasting of the classic American Western on the global stage, Hunting El Chapo takes us on Hogan's quest to achieve the seemingly impossible, from infiltrating El Chapo's inner circle to leading a white-knuckle manhunt with an elite brigade of trusted Mexican marines - racing door to door through the cartel's stronghold and ultimately bringing the elusive and murderous kingpin to justice.

This cinematic crime story following the relentless investigative work of Hogan and his team unfolds at breakneck speed, taking the listener behind the scenes of one of the most sophisticated and dangerous counternarcotics operations in the history of the United States and Mexico.

Loved everything about it

Narration was great and the story.... wow! I couldn't stop listening. I didn't know much about this drug cartel leader until listening to this book so I didn't know how it ended. Does he live or not? Escape or not? It wasn't until the very end that my memory was jogged with some of the news headlines I had briefly read last year. Needless to say, reading this was like reading a suspense novel. I was practically on the edge of my seat. Great story and great work by all involved.

El Chapito

The details of Mexico and the Narco lifestyle was so accurate. Good book. Interesting and entertaining.

What's Up El Chapo!

Great listen! Good narration and I especially enjoyed hearing from the author at the beginning and end. True Crime at its best… right from the source.
This book had the twists and turns for me because I wasn’t that familiar with El Chapo’s story. Thanks to the bazaar scenarios that went down, there are some truly funny moments that I did not expect. Hogan’s sense of humor comes out in some priceless quotes and details. He’s an author and lawman of a new generation, it’s refreshing and honest as hell.

You will be hooked!

I finished this book in a matter of a few days, I could not stop listening! I love that certain things were said in Spanish first then said in English so you get how intense things really got!

WOW

This is the best Narco book out there!! Perfect performance. Hunting El Chapo, great story.

Action-Packed & a Stellar Performance

This audiobook takes you into the hunt! You will feel like you are overseas in full armor, ready to take down one of the world’s most notorious dirtbags!

Amazing !!!

Andrew Hogan is a real American hero. To track down the most wanted criminal and to put yourself in harms way is amazing... We should have sent Andrew to find Osama Bin Laden as he would have been killed a decade sooner

What’s up Chapo!!!!!

Bravo bravo!!! Thrilling and chilling! Bad ass DEA agent Drew Hogan masterminds the pursuit and capture of “the shorty.” The action is fast paced, and the narrator nails it. I’ve already bought this book for my brother. It makes me proud to be an American knowing that law men like this put it all on the line for our safety and our kids safety!!! Stop reading and start listening you won’t regret it.

you have balls of steel mr. Hogan

I'll have a drink on your name mr. Andrew Hogan from a Mexican to an American with love; this book is very very entertaining from the beginning until the end I believe all the corruption that exist and you mention it with details and it's embarrassing for mexico, amazing book and a great story
