From the Back Cover
The Fruit Palace sells only juice. But it happens to be located in Santa Marta, the town that is to Colombia's cocaine trade what Lourdes is to holy water. It is also where Charles Nicholl got his first taste of the "white business" that occupies Colombians from street hustlers to cabinet ministers. And that taste launched Nicholl on a fanatical quest for "The Great Cocaine Story," which he relates with madcap energy and vividness in this classic travel book.
Charles Nicholl careens from shantytowns and waterfront barrios to steamy jungle villages and slaughterhouses. He survives fever, earthquake, and discovery by a dealer who threatens to "check his oil" with a knife. And he emerges with a tour de force that is a triumph of intrepid reporting and suspense.
Reviews
