Investigative journalist Phoebe Eaton separates man from myth, journeying past cartel checkpoints up to El Chapo’s remote hometown hideout in the Sierra Madre. She meets Chapo's family and reveals the surprising telenovela details of his childhood, discovering exactly how this third-grade dropout, Mexico’s most controversial narcotrafficker, rappelled his way from the rock pile that is La Tuna, Sinaloa, onto Forbes magazine's big-time billionaire list, governing a $14-billion empire even as he was on the lam, living in simple pine shacks with plastic folding chairs where the phone service went down if it was raining. "In the Thrall of the Mountain King" won Phoebe Eaton Mexico's International Journalism Award in 2021 (Premio Internacional de Periodismo 2021 del Club de Periodistas de México). In the book, Eaton discovers the Pentecostal faith his mother (and he) credit with keeping him alive all these years and helping him escape jail and the authorities numerous times, the gift his mother and sisters (and perhaps even he) have of speaking in tongues. The book includes many original color photographs shot by photojournalist Phoebe Eaton of Chapo's haunts in La Tuna in Badiraguato, the surprising seat of his empire, and also rare material from his 12-week Brooklyn court trial where he was convicted on ten felony counts before shipping off to a life term in Colorado's Supermax prison. Eaton unmasks how Chapo lived and how he loved, the deal with his many wives and the very many children. The real-life Tarantino-ish tales of el narcotráfico, the most dangerous business in the world.
