La primera novela de Don Winslow y la primera entrega de la serie protagonizada por el detective privado Neal Carey. Neal Carey no es un detective privado al uso. A los once años hacía lo que podía para sobrevivir en las calles de Nueva York, y se habria convertido en un delincuente si no hubiera sido por Joe Graham, un experimentado detective manco que le enseño un par de trucos de la profesion y lo puso bajo la proteccion del Banco, una hermetica institucion de Nueva Inglaterra especializada en solucionar los "problemas" de sus ricos socios, que le ofrecio una exclusiva educacion. Ahora el Banco necesita su ayuda. Allie Chase, la hija rebelde de un destacado senador, ha desaparecido, y su padre no puede permitirse dejar cabos sueltos justo cuando aspira a convertirse en el compañero de formula de Jimmy Carter. Para llevar a Allie de vuelta a casa Neal tendra que infiltrarse en los bajos fondos de la ciudad... y conseguir salir de una pieza. La critica ha dicho..."Winslow nos guia por el Londres mas underground de los años setenta."Publishers Weekly "Tiene lo que se necesita para enganchar al lector."Mystery Scene

Segunda entrega de la apasionante y adictiva serie detectivesca protagonizada por Neal Carey. Robert Pendleton es un genio de la química. Ha desarrollado un fertilizante que puede hacer rico a quien controle la formula. No es de extrañar que el Banco, su inversor exclusivo, quiera mantener un ferreo control sobre su inversion. Pero la CIA tambien esta interesada. Y el gobierno chino. Y unas cuantas organizaciones dudosas. Asi que cuando Pendleton desaparece de una conferencia en San Francisco con los frutos de su investigacion, Neal Carey entra en escena. Neal Carey hace trabajillos de investigacion para el Banco, que se hizo cargo de su exquisita educacion cuando era un adolescente sin mucho futuro. Neal cree que este encargo es pan comido hasta que conoce a la enigmatica Li Lan y comienza una vibrante investigacion que le llevara del Chinatown de San Francisco a las calles sin ley de Hong Kong, y finalmente al oscuro corazon de China. En un mundo en el que nada es lo que parece, Neal tiene que desvelar el misterio de una hermosa mujer y buscar el Espejo de Buda, un lago rodeado de misterio en el que todos los secretos son revelados.

From the internationally bestselling author of the acclaimed novel The Power of the Dog comes The Cartel, a gripping true-to-life epic, ripped from the headlines, 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 thirty years in a blood feud against Adan Barrera, the head of El Federacion, the world's most powerful cartel, and the man who brutally murdered Keller's partner. Finally putting Barrera away costs 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 ten-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 story of power, corruption, revenge, honour 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.
