Description
This is the adrenaline-pumping story of the world's most audacious drug runners and the police hunt, 'Operation Playboy', to track them down. These individuals travel the globe, living a high-risk, hedonistic lifestyle that comes with a price: trafficking cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana on international flights and through the world's biggest airports.
A Brazilian cop is determined to close the net, battling corrupt colleagues and bent judges to learn the secrets of the drug runners and bring about their downfall. Celebrated true-crime writer and journalist Kathryn Bonella has travelled the world to collect first-person testimony from an international network of mules and their bosses, as well as from the elite cops on their trail.
The result is a page-turning, white-knuckle thriller that reveals the true story of a manhunt codenamed OPERATION PLAYBOY.
