In 1985, a murky alliance of drug lords and government officials tortured and killed a DEA agent named Enrique Camarena. In a three-part series, legendary journalist Charles Bowden finally digs into the terrible mystery behind a hero’s murder.

The brilliant, late Charles Bowden’s last piece - his legacy article, in many ways - as presented by his friend and partner Molly Malloy. This is a remarkable read from Medium. Linked is the first of a three-part series.
