      Prawdziwa historia budowania potęgi i spektakularnego upadku najsłynniejszego barona narkotykowego na świecie. Pablo Escobar – jeden z najbogatszych kryminalistów w historii. U szczytu potęgi kontrolował 80% światowego rynku kokainy, dyktując warunki kolumbijskiej władzy i grając na nosie Stanom Zjednoczonym. Rozpętał terror zamachów i krwawą wojnę narkotykową. Jego sława wykroczyła daleko poza granice obu Ameryk. Bezwzględność, arogancja i wyrachowanie sprawiły, że imię Escobara do dziś owiane jest legendą, a jego biografia stała się podstawą popularnego serialu Narcos. Mark Bowden, nagradzany dziennikarz i autor słynnego Helikoptera w ogniu, pokazuje, że rzeczywistość może być o wiele bardziej przerażająca niż fikcja. W swoim szczegółowym śledztwie odsłania kulisy wieloletnich zmagań amerykańskich i kolumbijskich władz z „Królem Kokainy”.
