Description
Inside the Deadliest Cocaine Cartels – From the Jungles to the Streets is a thrilling account of the journey of one kilo of cocaine from the farmers who produce it, to the killers who protect it, to the drug barons and their lovers made fabulously wealthy by it. The writer’s unprecedented access to Colombia’s cocaine cartels, allows readers to meet the traffickers, the killers for hire, and the witches for the cocaine cartels, as well as the Colombian police and U.S. Coast Guard who combat cocaine smuggling. There is now more cocaine than ever before, the result of a peace process in Colombia between the government and leftist rebels. But the cocaine business only exists because of demand for the drug from the world’s richest countries…
“Kilo is surely the best account of the cocaine trade that will be ever be written, as well as the most incredible work of investigative journalism I’ve read. It’s a high-stakes yarn that shows each step of the drug ladder in vivid detail—from creation to consumption. A superb and important book.” – Ben Westhoff, author of Fentanyl, Inc.
