Description

You, El Matador, will progress through a story which weaves its way throughout the adventure, combining all the essential features of unexpected surprise, plot twists and dramatic developments.

A huge arrival of South American cocaine is expected in the USA. This is not just any narco-baron activity, but an attempt to gain control over the drug market in the USA by a newly established brotherhood called “La Hermandad”. El Matador will have to fight not only against the dangerous Latin Narcomafia, but also against the betrayal of his own people.

El Matador is an impressive thriller full of corruption, revenge, mortal ambiguity and ultimate justice set in varied locations of Costa Rica, Cuba, Columbia and many more exciting places, inspired by real environments in the region.
