Product Description
Product Description
This book tells about the rise, and fall, The rise and fall of the outlaw lords of the drug world, from the Cali Cartel, the richest, most powerful crime syndicate in history, to Britain s biggest drug baron, Curtis Cocky Warren and the Essex Triple Murders . From freewheeling cannabis operations to the lethal heaviness of organized crime, the doings of the dealers, bouncers, bagmen and taxmen those crazy enough to extort money from drug dealers of a ruthlessly violent underworld. Here you will find an account of the pursuit and capture of Mr Nice , Howard Marks (along with the complementary recollections of Mrs Marks), the story of the hunt for Pablo Escobar and an in-depth piece on cocaine production deep in the Colombian interior. This is the no-holds-barred, inside story of drug trafficking, from the Golden Triangle to the Golden Gate and from Spain's Costa del Crime to the future of conflict and prohibition with its fresh cast of Afghan warlords and central European gangsters. It examines how and why things go wrong, and the price which is paid when they do.
