From Robert Mazur, undercover agent and bestselling author of The Infiltrator, comes the riveting true story of grave corruption at the heart of one of the most explosive DEA missions of his career.
Three years after undercover agent Robert Mazur infiltrated Pablo Escobar's Medellín drug cartel, he reemerged, a half-million-dollar bounty still on his head, with a new identity for a risky new sting. He was now Robert Baldasare, money launderer and president of an international trade finance company. Deployed to Panama, Mazur worked, traveled, partied, and washed millions with Central America's criminal elite. Partnered with a young superstar DEA task force agent, Mazur slipped effortlessly into Colombia's notorious Cali drug cartel. But as his underworld reputation skyrocketed, the operation started going dangerously off the rails.
On US soil, drug money en route to Mazur was seized. He started to notice an unsettling shift in the cartel's inner circle. Contacts were being assassinated, and Mazur was being tailed. His identity had been compromised. Refusing to acknowledge the threats ahead, Mazur was obsessed with seeing the mission through to its treacherous end: expose the Cali cartel, find out who betrayed him, and escape with his life.
Robert Mazur spent twenty-seven years as a special agent for the IRS Criminal Investigation division, the Customs Service, and the Drug Enforcement Administration. He is the bestselling author of the memoir The Infiltrator, which was adapted into a major motion picture starring Bryan Cranston. Mazur is a court-certified expert in international drug trafficking and money laundering and is the president of KYC Solutions, Inc., a firm that provides speaking, expert witness, and consulting services to companies worldwide. His writings about money laundering, international drug trafficking, and corruption have been published in many journals and media outlets, including the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. He has also appeared on more than 1,500 radio and television shows, including NPR's All Things Considered and MSNBC's Morning Joe, as well as on CNN, PBS, ABC, CBS, NBC, Univision, BBC, and other major networks.
