Wolf Boys: Two American Teenagers and Mexico's Most Dangerous Drug Cartel

In this astonishing true story, Dan Slater recounts the unforgettable odyssey of Gabriel Cardona. At first glance, Gabriel is the poster-boy American teenager: athletic, bright, and charismatic. But the ghettos of Laredo, Texas - his border town - are full of smugglers and gangsters and are patrolled by one of the largest law-enforcement complexes in the world. It isn't long before Gabriel abandons his promising future for the allure of juvenile crime, which leads him and his childhood friends across the river to Mexico's most dangerous drug cartel: Los Zetas. As the cartel wars spill over the border, Gabriel and his crew are sent back to the States to work. In Texas, the teen assassins encounter a Mexican-born homicide detective determined to keep cartel violence out of his adopted country.
