{"product_id":"dirty-dealing-book-gary-cartwright-9781933693897","title":"Dirty Dealing","description":"\u003cp\u003eCartwright tells the story of the Chagra brothers, Lee and Joe, as they get mixed up with the drug-running community along the border and in short order find themselves hopelessly entangled in a net cast by the DEA. Even readers unfamiliar with the well-publicized events of the book or of the dark, lawless aspect that often rules El Paso will find themselves pulled along by the plot: brigands and intrigue leap from almost every page, and the story just gets wilder the further into it you venture.--from an Amazon.com review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour pages into this rollicking good story, the central figure, Lee Chagra, comes alive:  Lee] washed his morning cocaine down with strong coffee and remembered the time he had met Sinatra, how genuine he appeared. Everything you'll need to know and remember about Chagra--the son of Syrian immigrants to Mexico and an attorney who spun the world of dope-running, border-crossing, high-living outlaws along the El Paso-Juarez border around his finger like the gaudy rings he favored--can be neatly summarized in that one sentence. Chagra dies two pages later, yet he haunts the rest of this cautionary tale like a high-rolling specter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGary Cartwright\u003c\/b\u003e is a long-respected, award-winning journalist and contributing editor to \u003ci\u003eTexas Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e magazine.
