International bestselling author Roberto Saviano explores the inner workings of the world of drugs and dirty money – its rules and armies – and the true depth of its reach. From Mexican cartels to Milanese financiers, Guatemalan mercenaries to Ukrainian warlords, Calabrian traffickers to the traders in Wall Street and London who wash the money clean. This is an unforgettable story that goes around the globe and through every level of society to show the extent to which the drug trade affects us all.
The most important book of the year . . . Here it is, laid bare: cartel as corporation, corporation as cartel; cocaine as pure capitalism . . . Saviano realises the brutal truth: that to understand narco-traffic is to understand the modern world . . . it is revolutionary.’ Ed Vulliamy, Observer
‘A dense, dazzling, dizzying narrative about the terrifying violence of the cocaine trade, but also the vast, unassailable reach of it.’ Rose George, Independent
‘A tremendously gripping work of reportage.’ Ian Thomson, Evening Standard
‘Italy’s bravest investigative writer . . . must-read nonfiction.’ GQ
‘Impassioned, remarkable.’ Misha Glenny, Financial Times
‘After reading Saviano, it becomes impossible to see Italy, and the global market, in the same way again.’ The New York Times
