Download Wolf Boys: Two American Teenagers and Mexico's Most Dangerous Drug Cartel AudioBook Free
The storyplot of two American young adults recruited as killers for a Mexican cartel and their pursuit by a Mexican American detective who realizes the Warfare on Drugs is unwinnable. What's it like to be a worker of a global drug-trafficking organization? And exactly how will a 15-year-old American boy go from star quarterback to trained assassin, surging up the cartel corporate and business ladder? Initially Gabriel Cardona is the poster-boy American teenager: great athlete, shiny, good-looking, and charismatic. However the avenues of his border town of Laredo, Tx, are poor and dangerous, and it isn't long before Gabriel abandons his encouraging future for the allure of the Zetas, a drug cartel with roots in the Mexican government. His younger friend. Bart, as well as others from Gabriel's child years sign up for him in working for the Zetas, increasing automobiles and smuggling drugs, eventually capturing the eye of the cartel's leadership. On the other hand, Mexican-born detective Robert Garcia has worked hard all his life and is now struggling to raise his family in the us. As violence spills within the border, Detective Garcia's pursuit of the children and their cartel leaders puts him in person with the urgent consequences of an war he perceives as unwinnable. In Wolf Boys Dan Slater stocks their tales, taking us from the Sierra Madre mountaintops to the dusty, dark alleys of Laredo, Tx, over a harrowing, often brutal voyage into the heart and soul of the Mexican drug trade. Gabriel's advancement from good-natured teenager into a feared assassin is really as unavoidable as Garcia's gradual realization of the futile nature of his work. A nonfiction thriller, Wolf Boys depicts more than just Gabriel, Bart, and the officials who got them down. It shows, through brilliant detail and abundant, often moving narrative, how the border itself is changing, disappearing, and posing new terrifying and yet largely unseen threats to American security. In the end, though, Wolf Boys is the close tale of the "lobos" themselves: children turned into pawns for cartels. Their tales show how poverty, ideas about individuality, and administration ignorance have warped the definition of the American dream.
