La Gata is an audio memoir chronicling a decade in the life of Cissie Cobb. Today, Cissie is a law-abiding 70-year-old dog walker in Los Angeles … but about 50 years ago, she was steeped in the drug business. Part true crime podcast, part love story, and part survival guide, La Gata relives Cissie’s transformation as she climbs the ladder in an extremely dangerous business.
Cissie tries to get out of the game free, rich, and alive.
