Eric S. Balliet is a retired Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Special Agent and the author of Kingpins & Coyotes. During a federal law enforcement career spanning twenty-five years, he investigated drug cartels, human smuggling organizations, public corruption, and transnational criminal networks operating along the US/Mexico border and throughout the Western Hemisphere. Balliet began his career as a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Nogales, Arizona, before becoming a special agent with U.S. Customs and later serving with ICE and Homeland Security Investigations. He led complex investigations targeting cartel command structures, communication networks, financial pipelines, and the infrastructure used to move drugs, money, weapons, and people across international borders. His work included developing wire interception strategies that contributed to the operations that located and captured Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán—twice. He later served as Law Enforcement Advisor to two Secretaries of Homeland Security and as Chief of the Integrity Investigations Division within the ICE Office of Professional Responsibility. He is a court-recognized expert witness in drug trafficking, corruption, and criminal wire intercepts and has trained law enforcement professionals in the United States and abroad. In Kingpins & Coyotes, Balliet draws on his firsthand experience to reveal how cartels and human smuggling networks operate, adapt, and rebuild—and why dismantling these criminal systems requires understanding far more than what happens at the borderS
