  4. 5. Las Señoras Del Narco

    An investigative account that maps the hidden role of women in Mexico’s drug world — from glamorous spouses and socialites to hands-on traffickers, money launderers and political intermediaries — using interviews, court documents and on-the-ground reporting. It shows how these women build public images, manage fortunes, secure protection through networks of corruption, and sometimes become operators in their own right, while also highlighting the victims, coercion and family dynamics that sustain the business. By tracing links between organized crime, business, media and state institutions, the work exposes the social costs and normalization of violence and impunity surrounding the narcotics trade.

  5. 6. La Historia Secreta. Amlo Y El Cártel De Sinaloa

    AMLO y el cártel de Sinaloa

    This investigative book argues that Mexico’s president and his political circle maintain covert ties with the Sinaloa Cartel, and it assembles court documents, leaked communications, testimonies, and historical research to trace those connections; the work analyzes how alleged collusion and compromised institutions have shaped policies, law-enforcement actions, and the broader erosion of democratic accountability and rule of law in Mexico.
