Three years after undercover agent Robert Mazur infiltrated Pablo Escobar' s Medellin drug cartel, he re-emerged, a half-million-dollar bounty still on his head, with a new identity for a risky new sting. Deployed to Panama, he worked, travelled, partied and washed millions with Central America' s criminal elite. Partnered with a 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. Robert Mazur' s riveting true story exposes the corruption at the heart of one of the most explosive undercover missions of his career. Refusing to acknowledge the danger, 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. This is his true story.
Bob Mazur delivers again with The Betrayal! As with its predecessor, The Infiltrator, Mazur artfully takes the reader through the harrowing account of life as an undercover cop embedded in the drug cartels. In my career I take on characters in life-or-death situations - but I just can' t imagine how Mazur does it for real! Read it and find out. I highly recommend it. -- Bryan Cranston - Star of Breaking Bad. Winner of Emmy, Tony and Golden Globe awards for best actor. The Betrayal details the malicious world of drugs, money laundering and the danger of being a DEA undercover agent infiltrating these organizations. A book you can' t put down, nor will you. -- Joseph Pistone aka Donnie Brasco, author of Donnie Brasco: My Undercover Life in the Mafia The Betrayal is a page-turning thriller about a courageous agent' s simultaneous journey through a deadly vise of internal corruption and the ruthless threat of cartel killers. This is the unfortunate reality of the underworld. -- Michael S. Vigil, Former DEA Chief of International Operations and author of Deal No one in law enforcement is more lethally vulnerable to the betrayal of those he/she depends on for support and protection then the deep cover agent; the operative who, unarmed, like a human bait, places himself into isolated situations where the only thing protecting him from an instant death is his acting ability. . . This book is a must read. -- Michael Levine Author of New York Times bestseller Deep Cover and The Big White Lie FATF was created to help governments follow the money and reduce the harm caused by drug traffickers and terrorists. Bob Mazur repeatedly put his life on the line to do just that. This isn' t fiction. It' s the real deal and scary as hell. -- David Lewis - Executive Secretary of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the global watchdog against money laundering
