      Do povedomia ľudí sa už zapísali mnohí slávni zločinci opradení legendami: Al Capone,Pablo Escobar,Jesse James. Každý z týchto zlopovestných kriminálnikov mal v pätách muža s nachystanými želiezkami. V prípade narkobaróna Joaquína Guzmána-Loeru,teda El Chapa,bol týmto mužom špeciálny agent amerického Národného úradu pre kontrolu obchodu s drogami (DEA) Andrew Hogan. V roku 2006 zamieril čerstvý absolvent akadémie DEA do Arizony. Vzápätí sa ocitol vo víre života agenta v utajení. Vtedy ešte netušil, že sa dostane na stopu Guzmána,hlavy sinalojského kartelu, miliardára na zozname boháčov časopisu Forbes a verejného nepriateľa číslo jeden v Spojených štátoch. Ak chcel El Chapa dostať,musel sa s manželkou a dvoma malými synmi presťahovať do Mexika. V tom čase prekvitalo na juh od amerických hraníc násilie a boje o kľúčové pašerácke body si vyžiadali tisíce mŕtvych. Hogan sa pokúšal o nemožné. Musel sa infiltrovať do El Chapovej sofistikovanej komunikačnej štruktúry, odhaliť rafinovane zamaskovanú sieť úkrytov a nahnať šéfa drogového kartelu do rúk spravodlivosti. Kniha Lov na El Chapa nám odkrýva pohľad do najsofistikovanejšej a najnebezpečnejšej protidrogovej operácie v dejinách, ktorá vyústila do zatknutia legendárneho narkobaróna,roky unikajúceho pred zákonom.

      At the age of eighteen, Aaron Cohen left Beverly Hills to prove himself in the crucible of the armed forces. He was determined to be a part of Israel's most elite security cadre, akin to the American Green Berets and Navy SEALs. After fifteen months of grueling training designed to break down each individual man and to rebuild him as a warrior, Cohen was offered the only post a non-Israeli can hold in the special forces. In 1996 he joined a top-secret, highly controversial unit that dispatches operatives disguised as Arabs into the Palestinian-controlled West Bank to abduct terrorist leaders and bring them to Israel for interrogation and trial. Between 1996 and 1998, Aaron Cohen would learn Hebrew and Arabic; become an expert in urban counterterror warfare, the martial art of Krav Maga, and undercover operations; and participate in dozens of life-or-death missions. He would infiltrate a Hamas wedding to seize a wanted terrorist and pose as an American journalist to set a trap for one of the financiers behind the Dizengoff Massacre, taking him down in a brutal, hand-to-hand struggle. A propulsive, gripping read, Cohen's story is a rare, fly-on-the-wall view into the shadowy world of "black ops" that redefines invincible strength, true danger, and inviolable security.
