Melissa del Bosque's Bloodlines: The True Story of a Drug Cartel, the FBI, and the Battle for a Horse-Racing Dynasty is an interesting tale of crime and espionage that chronicles the rise and fall of a Mexican drug cartel. The story begins with Joaquin Guzman Loera (a.k.a. El Chapo), the infamous leader of Mexico's Sinaloa drug cartel, discussing with his son how to make a move on horse racing in Kentucky. As an avid horse fan himself, he wanted to get into horse racing so that he could "hide in plain sight." After finally getting into horse racing due to corrupt connections, El Chapo plans to use it as both an investment opportunity and as a means for laundering money from his trafficking business. He recruits his sons Felipe, who ran horses before joining their father's cartel, and Jesus Alfredo when they are young boys while still living in rural Mexico. The story follows the family through their rise in power in the U.S., their subsequent downfall due to FBI undercover agents infiltrating their ranks, and finally leading up to El Chapo's capture by Mexican authorities after more than 20 years on the run from capture.
