This is the untold story of the American federal agent who captured the world’s most-wanted drug-lord. Every generation has its larger-than-life criminal legend living beyond the reach of the law: Billy the Kid, Al Capone, Ronnie Biggs, Pablo Escobar. But for every one of these criminals, there’s a Wyatt Earp, Pat Garrett or Slipper of the Yard. For Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán-Loera a.k.a. ‘El Chapo’ – the 21st century’s most notorious criminal – that man is D.E.A. Special Agent Andrew Hogan. This is the incredible story of Hogan’s seven-year-long chase to capture El Chapo, a multibillionaire drug-lord and escape-artist posing as a Mexican Robin Hood, who in reality was a brutal sociopath responsible for the murders of thousands. His greedy campaign to take over his rivals’ territories resulted in an unprecedented war with a body count of over 100,000. We follow Hogan on his quest to achieve the seemingly impossible: to cross the border into Mexico and arrest El Chapo, the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, a billionaire and Public Enemy No. 1, who had been evading capture for more than a decade and had earned a reputation for being utterly untouchable. This intimate thriller tells how Hogan single-mindedly and methodically climbed the ladder within the hierarchy of the Sinaloa Cartel – the world’s wealthiest and most powerful drug-trafficking organization – by creating one of the most sophisticated undercover operations in the history of the D.E.A. From infiltrating Chapo’s inner circle to leading a white-knuckle manhunt with an elite brigade of Mexican Marines, Hogan left no stone unturned in his hunt for the world’s most powerful drug kingpin.

Hunting El Chapo

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 twentieth-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 D.E.A. 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 No. 1 in the United States. Six years later, as head of the D.E.A.’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 king-pin to justice. This cinematic crime story following the relentless investigative work of Hogan and his team unfolds at breakneck speed, taking the reader behind the scenes of one of the most sophisticated and dangerous counter-narcotics operations in the history of the United States and Mexico.

Den sande historie om manden, som fangede verdens mest eftersøgte narkobaron Andrew Hogan var helt ny i jobbet som specialagent for DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), da han gennem en serie nervepirrende undercover-operationer intetanende kom på sporet af verdens mest berygtede narkobaron, Sinaloa-kartellets leder Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, bedre kendt som El Chapo. Seks år senere blev Hogan indsatsleder mod Sinaloa-kartellet i Mexico City, og startskuddet lød til en af historiens farligste, og mest sofistikerede, internationale efterforskninger. Med hjælp fra amerikanske efterretningsagenter afkoder han gradvist kartellets kommunikationsnetværk, før han mobiliserer det mexicanske militær til en storstilet menneskejagt på El Chapo. Mens jagten fører dem fra hemmelige tunneller under Culiacáns slumkvarterer til de mest eksklusive hoteller ved kysten, må Hogan og hans hold kæmpe mod både politisk pres fra højeste sted, samt korruption og lækager i det mexicanske politi. For i en verden, hvor penge trumfer retfærdighed, hvem kan man så i virkeligheden stole på? Jagten på El Chapo er en højteknologisk og nervepirrende true crime-thriller fortalt af manden, der egenhændigt pågreb verdens mest eftersøgte narkobaron.

Wanted: El Chapo. Tositarina ajojahdista

La storia mai raccontata dell'ex agente speciale che ha catturato il narcotrafficante più pericoloso del mondo. Quando lasciò l'incarico di vice-sceriffo di una piccola città del Kansas per entrare nella DEA, Andrew Hogan non immaginava che il caso lo avrebbe messo sulle tracce di Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán-Loera, detto El Chapo, boss del cartello messicano di Sinaloa e Nemico Pubblico Numero Uno degli Stati Uniti. Hogan viene mandato in Arizona, dove si ritrova subito impegnato in una serie di audaci missioni sotto copertura che lo portano sempre più vicino al più potente signore della droga dai tempi di Pablo Escobar. Sei anni dopo, diventato capo della task force incaricata di smantellare il cartello di Sinaloa, Hogan si allea con un team di esperti della Homeland Security Investigation e, grazie a un lavoro capillare su entrambi i lati del confine, riesce a infiltrarsi nel complesso sistema di comunicazione di El Chapo e a indagare sulla sua organizzazione fino a portare alla luce una rete di covi comunicanti nascosta con incredibile astuzia. Ma può davvero fidarsi di tutti gli uomini che collaborano alla missione? O c'è il rischio che i dettagli della loro operazione segreta arrivino a El Chapo prima ancora che la caccia cominci?Come in un classico western su scala globale, Caccia a El Chapo segue l'agente speciale Hogan, alla testa di un manipolo di Marines messicani stipati di volta in volta in elicotteri militari, furgoni blindati e SUV, in un folle inseguimento attraverso la roccaforte del cartello. In un resoconto adrenalinico che si legge come un thriller, Andrew Hogan e Douglas Century raccontano l'inarrestabile lavoro investigativo che ha portato alla cattura del signore della droga più ricercato al mondo e svelano i retroscena di una delle operazioni più sofisticate e pericolose di Stati Uniti e Messico contro il narcotraffico.

Sex år senare fick Hogan jobbet att leda insatsen mot Sinaloa i Mexiko City, och en av historiens farligaste och mest komplicerade utredningar tog sin början. I nära samarbete med Homeland Security Investigations arbetade Hogan dag och natt för att knäcka koder och samla information om El Chapos nätverk – och allt måste ske istörsta hemlighet för att förhindra att något läckte ut och El Chapo skulle förstå att man kom honom allt närmare för varje minut. Jakten på El Chapo är en nervpirrande true crime där läsaren får följa jakten på knarkkungen steg för steg. Från infiltrationen av kartellens innersta kretsar, via den högteknologiska utredningen, till den desperata kampen mot klockan då El Chapo äntligen kunde gripas.
