A blend of Manhunt, Killing Pablo, and Zero Dark Thirty, Cole Merrell and Douglas Century's sensational investigative high-tech thrillerâ??soon to be a major motion picture from Sonyâ??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 Chapoâ??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-Loeraâ??El Chapoâ??that lawman is former Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Cole Merrell.

In 2006, fresh out of the D.E.A. Academy, Merrell 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, Merrell 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 Merrell'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 Marinesâ??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 Merrell 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… (mere)

Dieses Buch erzählt die Geschichte von Andrew Hogan, der Jagd auf den meistgesuchten Drogenboss Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman-Loera, genannt El Chapo, gemacht hat.
El Chapo schaffte es auch in die deutschen Nachrichten, denn nachdem er nach jahrelanger Jagd gefasst wurde, entkam er wieder aus dem Gefängnis. Dieser Drogenhändler ist sicherlich eine interessante Person und ich konnte mir in diesem Buch über seine Persönlichkeit einen guten Eindruck verschaffen. Aber noch interessanter ist es, den Mann kennenzulernen, der El Chapo hinter Gitter bracht, nämlich Andrew Hogan.
Hogan war zunächst Spezialagent der amerikanischen Drogenvollzugsbehörde DEA und hat mit seinem Partner Diego Jagd auf Kleinkriminelle und kleine Drogenhändler gemacht. Aber er wollte mehr. Er wollte die ganz Großen fangen und einer der größten, mächtigsten und gefährlichsten war El Chapo. Es ist Wahnsinn, was er dafür auf sich nimmt. Er baut sich ein anderes Leben auf und versucht als Undercover-Agent Kontakte zu bekommen. Es dauert lange, aber dann gelingt es ihm, in den inneren Kreis zu gelangen. Acht Jahre dauert seine Jagd und dann hat er den Drogenboss hinter Gitter gebracht.
Sehr detailliert wird berichtet, was alles unternommen wird während dieser Untercover-Tätigkeit. So eine lange Zeit und so viele Beteiligte, die alle auf das gleiche Ziel hinarbeiten.
Das Buch liest sich gut und ist spannend wie ein Krimi. Anfangs war es noch recht sachlich, aber die Spannung steigerte sich immer mehr.
Mit hat das Buch sehr gut gefallen. ( )
