On an afternoon in February 2011, two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were driving on a highway in central Mexico when they were ambushed by drug cartel gunmen. In the firefight that followed, one of the agents, Jaime Zapata, was killed - the first U.S. law enforcement agent to die in the line of duty in Mexico in more than a quarter of a century.
Mexican authorities quickly apprehended members of the Zetas, Mexico's most notorious criminal organization, who confessed to the murder. It looked like an open-and-shut case - until it was discovered that the guns used to kill Zapata had come from the United States, purchased by American gun buyers who investigators had been watching for months but hadn't arrested. For the federal law enforcement agencies still reeling from the Fast & Furious scandal, it seemed like a horrible kind of déjà vu.
Could Zapata's death have been prevented? Journalist Mary Cuddehe set out to find the answer. The extraordinary story of Agent Zapata traces the chain of events that led to the murder and explores its consequences, a journey that takes us from the seedy pawnshops of East Texas to the cartel-besieged cities of northern Mexico to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C.

As time has passed and this incident has been buried, it becomes obvious that our current administration has never intended to fully investigate this murder and bring those responsible to justice. That this fine young agent has died in vain is an abomination for which there will never be an answer, mainly because no one is looking for one. I am apalled and disgusted by the apparent inability of Washington to even look closely at this terrible crime because one of their own is deeply implicated and should be prosecuted. This was an eye opening account of the sad death of a fine young man!!!Product details

Agent Zapata (Audible Audio Edition) Mary Cuddehe The Atavist Books Reviews
It is a good book it shares the other side of the unknown truth and perhaps we never now what really happens to the agent Zapata during the shooting and why he was the only who was shoot badly and died my condolences to his family and relatives
It never ceases to amaze me the danger that these agent put themselves into. I would never have the guts to do it.
The book was a good read but did not add much to newspaper accounts of the actual incident. Sad story.
The author is an excellent investigative reporter.
The book tells it like it was. Quite factual and
interesting material. Congratulatlions!
I found this to be bit of a chore to get through. While it's not long it's very wordy. The closer you get to the end the more political it gets so the more boring it gets.
This article fleshes out the background and family of Immigration Agent Zapata who was executed on a Mexican highway with a gun that was purchased in America. It falls short of a critical analysis of what could have prevented his murder. It leaves doubt as to whether the man found guilty is even the trigger man. There is no call for action and no drum beating condemnation of the US Government gun smuggling operation, Fast and Furious.
As time has passed and this incident has been buried, it becomes obvious that our current administration has never intended to fully investigate this murder and bring those responsible to justice. That this fine young agent has died in vain is an abomination for which there will never be an answer, mainly because no one is looking for one.
