El Capitan

EL CAPIT N is a dark fantasy reimagining of true crime, chronicling one man's ruthless ascent from the impoverished streets of Brazil to the pinnacle of Bolivia's most feared drug cartel. This psychological thriller plunges readers into Bolivia's violent and mysterious underworld-a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal means death.

Juan Carlos Begato is a small-time drug pusher desperate to make his mark when mafia kingpin Julio lvarez takes him under his wing. What follows is a masterclass in manipulation, ambition, and survival.

Colonel Esteban Santiago, chief of La Paz's anti-narcotics division, fights a losing battle against the cartel's iron grip on his city. As an amateur detective would soon discover, the corruption runs deeper than anyone imagined, and Santiago finds himself increasingly helpless against the escalating violence consuming his streets.

Ronald 'Bigs' Shea, a 'Cowboy Jockey' for the Guarachi Cartel, walks a razor's edge between rival conglomerates, his allegiance torn and his life hanging in the balance.

Four thousand seven hundred miles away in Los Angeles, two detectives race against time in a suspenseful detective mystery to unmask a serial bomber before he strikes again. Their investigation will lead them down a path they never anticipated-one that connects directly to the chaos unfolding in Bolivia.

A combustible mosaic of interconnecting lives bound by fate, EL CAPIT N weaves together multiple storylines in this high-stakes thriller about violence, greed, and redemption. With elements of clever satire exposing the absurdity of the drug war, this unforgettable journey stands among the greatest thrillers of all time.

Perfect for fans of true crime for young adults, amateur detective mysteries, and readers who crave psychological thrillers with international intrigue.
