Cartel Wives is the astonishing and revelatory memoir from two women who escaped the international drug trade, with never-before-revealed details about El Chapo, the Sinaloa Cartel and the dangerous world of illicit drugs. The authors are married to the highest level drug traffickers ever to become US informants. Their husbands worked with - and then brought down - El Chapo, as well as dozens of high-level members of the Mexican cartels.
They had everything money could buy: luxury cars, huge houses and expensive jewellery, but came to understand that with the vast wealth that accompanied high-level cartel life came the ever present threat of death or imprisonment. Choosing their families over money, they decided to give it all up and cooperate with the US government.
Cartel Wives is a love story, a 'Married to the Mob' story, an insider's look into the terrifying but high-flying empire of the new world of drugs, and, finally, the story of a major DEA and FBI operation that brought down the most powerful narco criminal in the world.
