Full Circle

In the 1980s and early 1990s, cocaine poured into the United States. Most of it was transported from Colombia by a kingpin in the Cali cartel, whose identity remained hidden. The kingpin had been elusive for years, rarely stepping on US soil. The DEA and the FBI had no success in identifying this top–level operator.

The feds were offtrack not only because the kingpin was careful and clever but also because the kingpin was actually a queenpin. Cali native Isabella Herrera was a young beauty from a wealthy family, and her meticulous business skills enabled her to rise within the drug cartel from a mule to a high–level operative. While the feds were getting nowhere, a small narcotic task force within the Torrance Police Department located in a Los Angeles suburb was catching up to Isabella's trail.

Full Circle is an action–packed semifictional tale based on an insider's story of the Torrance narcotic squad's pursuit of a Cali cartel queenpin.
