THE WHITE TRAFFIC
I spend more than 4 years exploring cocaine business. From bolivian jungles, by slums of Rio de Janeiro and Medellin, "smugglers heaven" in Darien Gap, up to the Colombia - center of drug business. I passed thousands of kilometers in Americas. Few times I nearly lost my life. I saw world of crime, dark secrets, and danger, where every step could cost me a life.
I based on materials I get from journalists, police and big players, writing about history of drug war. I reconstructed careers of biggest bosses of the business. I met with heads of drug cartels, and paramilitary armies. I talk with paid killers, mafia soldiers, policemen, and also people who lost everything they had for love to the white powder. I fought with false information, I explore thrilling connections between organized crime and legal business and large banks.
This is WHITE TRAFFIC. Not next book about drug business, but about people who live in it.
