Kilo is one of the best books I've read on the cocaine trade...
Forget all the TV stuff, this is the real deal
*Max Daly, Vice*
Poetic but also brilliant journalism. I loved it. One of the best
books on drugs ever written
*Mark Townsend, Observer*
Absolutely hair-raising
*Sam Leith*
Compelling and unforgettable. With Kilo, cocaine now has its own
Dispatches. - The New Yorker
*The New Yorker*
In Kilo, Toby Muse teleports the reader into the mad, bloody,
tragic world of Colombian cocaine trafficking. You can feel the
beats at the discos packed with drug lords and beauty queens; smell
the sweat of laborers toiling in the coca fields for a pittance;
hear the dog of the gun slinger barking in the barrio. In doing so,
he pens a love letter to one of the most beautiful and bloodiest
countries on earth
*Ioan Grillo, author of El Narco and Blood Gun Money*
