Camisas azules, manos negras es un crudo testimonio que comprende nueve años de investigación de una periodista dedicada a escrutar la corrupción en Pemex, soportada con fuentes vivas y documentales de alto nivel, expedientes de auditorías clasificados como confidenciales; así como decenas de entrevistas, testimonios y recorridos por las regiones petroleras en tierra y en plataformas, además de las revelaciones de altos funcionarios de los gobiernos de Vicente Fox y Felipe Calderón, que desnudan los negocios privados de los hombres públicos.

A partir de la nacionalización de la industria petrolera, por ochenta años Pemex fue el principal sostén de la economía mexicana, una maquinaria generadora de billones y billones de dólares por la producción y venta del oro negro y sus derivados, sólo que, a pesar de ser un bien público, sus ganancias y beneficios se repartieron entre pocas manos.

Durante los gobiernos de Vicente Fox Quesada y Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, se desarrolla el "cártel negro", un conglomerado de funcionarios, trabajadores, empresarios, contratistas, inspectores, contralores, agentes aduanales, dirigentes y miembros del sindicato petrolero, políticos, ordeñadores, tapineros, huachicoleros, extorsionadores, defraudadores, contrabandistas y lavadores de dinero que, alineados con los traficantes de droga, se consolidan como una organización empresarial paralela a Pemex.
