ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A HARROWING JOURNEY INSIDE THE HIDDEN WORLD OF DRUG CARTELS BY ONE OF
THE TOP CRIMINAL INFORMANTS IN U.S. LAW ENFORCEMENT HISTORY.

The
men he put behind bars know him as Roman Caribe or one of the dozens of
other aliases he has used undercover. His handlers in the DEA, ICE, and
FBI know him as Confidential Source Ninety-Six, or C.S. 96, named for
the year he confronted the sins of his life atop a massive drug
distribution ring and flipped, becoming law enforcement's secret weapon.


In Confidential Source Ninety-Six, Caribe tells the
extraordinary story of his transformation into America's most successful
informant in terms of total narcotics seized--from the years of
trafficking cocaine and marijuana across the U.S. for a terrifying drug
lord, eventually becoming that man's number two, to his decision to
defect and trade sides. In his first mission, Caribe set his sights on
his onetime boss's brutal operation. In his next, he broke all protocol
and made a daring foray into the notorious Fuentes Cartel, where he took
down a family that was smuggling tons of drugs across the U.S.-Mexico
border.

As Caribe launched his career as a confidential source,
finding his faith and seeking to finally do right by his stoic wife,
Inez, and his four children, his marriage became stressed in new ways,
the risks to his family unimaginable if he made a single mistake on the
job. He found himself looking over his shoulder every day, knowing that
with each drug ring or kingpin he destroyed, he made another dangerous
enemy. For as long as he continued the high stakes work, he would
survive on the cunning of his tradecraft and his ability to improvise in
the most terrifying circumstances.

Unfolding in Southern
California mansions, makeshift DEA trailers deep in the redwood forest,
drug fronts in Spanish Harlem, fast-food parking lots where kilograms of
cocaine and heroin change hands, and around the dinner table where
Caribe began mentoring at-risk youth to help them avoid the mistakes he
made, Confidential Source Ninety-Six is the epic saga of one
man's quest to redeem himself and a thrilling look at the law
enforcement battle that rages in the shadows of our nation.
