The source recommended that Treviño was laundering cash through American one fourth horse race. If this was true, it offered a first year like Lawson the perfect possibility to infiltrate the cartel. Lawson groups up with a more experienced agent, Alma Perez, and, dealing with impossible odds, sets out to remove among the world’s most fearsome medication lords.

In Bloodlines, Emmy and National Mag Award-winning journalist Melissa del Bosque follows Lawson and Perez’s harrowing try to dismantle a cartel leader’s American racing dynasty constructed on extortion and blood money.
