Mike Vigil, a native son of northern New Mexico, served more than three decades in the agency, including 18 years abroad, and spent more time than any other DEA agent in Mexico. Vigil is known as the agent who best infiltrated Mexico’s and Colombia’s violent cartels, and he was instrumental in bringing Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán to justice. Vigil has detailed his work in a memoir titled “Deal,” one of five books he has written. In addition to a reading, Vigil will be interviewed by renowned Santa Fe radio host, Richard Eeds.
