“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat Today, I have the privilege—the honor—of sharing this table with one of the journalists I admire most, and who is, moreover, a true master in many respects.

Furthermore, for undertaking the project he just completed—*Los Cárteles Gringos* (The Gringo Cartels)—is no small feat.
