Description

Carlos Lehder Rivas, a powerful international businessman and self-proclaimed revolutionary, made a fatal mistake by inviting an American professor to be his guest on the island of Norman's Cay. Richard Novak, a father of five and lover of the sea, came to the island to study hammer-head sharks, but soon found himself locked in combat with a global archcriminal. The island, once a peaceful haven, became the nerve center of the Medellin Cartel, complete with gun towers and a DC-3 landing strip. Here is the true story of how Richard Novak helped bring Lehder to his downfall, armed with nothing but a .357 Magnum, his underwater sabotage skills, and the courage of his convictions. A gripping account of one man's determination to take down a notorious crime lord, this book is a testament to the power of individual action in the face of overwhelming odds. Turning the Tide: One Man Against the Medellin Cartel is a gripping true story of courage and determination.
