An extraordinary undercover FBI memoir by one of its best agents of all time
Martin Suarez is not just one of the guys who brought down a top Colombian cartel he is the guy. A legendary figure in the FBI, he infiltrated the group, starting out as a cocaine trafficker and going on to become its money launderer. This is the critical job: its a lot easier to smuggle the drugs in than it is to get the cash out.
Using his undercover position, Martin dismantled the cartel and brought its head honcho El Caracol (The Snail) to justice, while trying not to lose himself in this dark, brutal underworld. For the first time, hes sharing every dramatic twist and turn that led to his success.
INSIDE THE CARTEL is a heart-pounding narrative and a fascinating look into the inner workings of the FBI.
Martin Suarez infiltrated criminal organisations around the world for almost 25 years, making him one of the most prolific undercover agents in the history of the FBI.
