Meet Chris Heifner, overachieving drug runner for a Mexican marijuana cartel. But he wasn't always. This one-time econ student from Texas-broke, deep in debt, facing eviction, and with a growing family to support-yielded to the temptation that he had resisted countless times before and went to work for his best friend from college, Jake Andes. But it's wasn't exactly a Career Day kind of job. Andes was a big-time dealer, captaining a $25-million-a-year empire. Heifner became a mule, running multi-hundred-pound loads from Juarez around the country. After digging himself out of his financial hole, Heifner contemplated going clean. But the money and the lifestyle had hooked him, so he kept moving loads. He was so good that Andes was grooming him to become his second-in-command. And then Heifner got busted with $300,000 worth of dope in a rental car, and his world came crashing down. After bailing out of jail, Heifner went home for a much-needed shower. He emerged to find Andes and a hit man hired to kill him and his family should he decide to go to the authorities. Heifner realized that he had only one option: to flip and become an informant for the DEA. And that's when life got really dangerous.

Industry Reviews

"A very real first-hand account of the gritty, brutal world of trafficking. Heifner's incredible journey will transport you into the pounding heart of the War on Drugs. You won't want to put this book down."-Robert Mazur, former DEA agent and author of The Infiltrator: My Secret Life Inside the Dirty Banks Behind Pablo Escobar's Medellin Cartel"Mule contains all the dread, angst, and psychological terror of a Hitchcock movie. It's a must read for people interested in the US-Mexico drug trade." -Howard Campbell, professor of anthropology and author of Drug War Zone: Frontline Dispatches from the Streets of El Paso and Juarez
