An astonishing and revelatory memoir by two women who escaped the
glamorous yet deadly international drug trade. Mia Flores and
Olivia Flores live under assumed names. To their neighbours, they
are typical single mothers, their days filled with school runs and
PTA meetings. But Olivia and Mia are anything but ordinary. They
live in fear, hiding from a past that included wealth beyond their
wildest dreams but also more danger than they ever could have
imagined. Mia and Olivia are married to the highest level American
drug traffickers ever to become US informants, Chicago-born twin
brothers Margarito and Pedro Flores. These men worked with - and
then brought down - dozens of high-level members of the Mexican
cartels, most significantly notorious kingpin Joaquin 'El Chapo'
Guzman. The brothers and their wives had everything money could buy
- luxury cars, huge houses and expensive jewellery - but came to
understand that the vast wealth that accompanied cartel life came
with the ever-present threat of kidnapping, death or imprisonment.
Choosing their families over money, they decided to give it all up
and cooperate with the US government. Now, from behind the cloak of
witness protection, Olivia and Mia have come forward for the first
time to tell the full story of their family's decision to risk
everything and seek redemption. Cartel Wives is a love story, an
insider's look into a terrifying but high-flying modern-day drug
empire and, finally, the story of a major federal government
operation to bring down one of the most feared men in the world.
