At first glance, Gabriel Cardona is an exemplary American teenager:
athletic, bright, handsome and charismatic. But his Texas town is
poor and dangerous, and it isn't long before Gabriel abandons his
promising future for the allure of the Zetas, a drug cartel with
roots in the Mexican military. Meanwhile, Mexican-born Detective
Robert Garcia has worked hard all his life and is now struggling to
raise his family in America. As violence spills over the border,
Detective Garcia's pursuit of the Zetas puts him face to face with
the urgent consequences of a war he sees as unwinnable. In Wolf
Boys, Dan Slater takes readers on a harrowing, moving, and often
brutal journey into the heart of the Mexican drug trade - from the
Sierra Madre mountaintops to the smuggling ports of Veracruz, from
cartel training camps and holiday parties to the dusty alleys of
South Texas. Ultimately though, Wolf Boys is the intimate and vivid
story of the 'lobos': teens turned into pawns for cartels. A
non-fiction thriller, it reads with the emotional clarity of a
great novel, yet offers its revelations through extraordinary
reporting.
