Pure Narco

One Man's True Story of 25 Years Inside the Cartels

By: Jesse Fink, Luis Navia, Eric Kolbinsky

Narrated by: Keith Scott

Bloomsbury presents Pure Narco by Jesse Fink, Luis Navia, read by Keith Scott.

For a quarter century, Luis Antonio Navia worked as a high-level cocaine transporter for all of the major Colombian and Mexican drug cartels, including Pablo Escobar’s Medellín Cartel, and flooded the United States and Europe with cocaine before his dramatic arrest in Venezuela in 2000 during the 12-nation Operation Journey.

The story of Navia’s rise, fall, takedown, imprisonment, and redemption is expertly researched and told by acclaimed biographer Jesse Fink, who has gathered interviews with Navia, Navia’s family, and a dozen law-enforcement agents in the United States and Great Britain from agencies such as the DEA, ICE and Her Majesty’s Customs and Excise (now Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs). Told in vivid detail, this true crime story will captivate the listener from start to finish.

Truly enjoyed this book

Great narrative and a very interesting story. I was hooked on the first page and was very pleased after I was done with it.

What a life!

Luis Navia lived a hundred lives in one. He’s the type of guy I’d like to spend an evening with. This book is extremely well written and well narrated. I’ve enjoyed all of it and didn’t fell anything drag to long. 10/10 will recommend.

Good life to you El Senador!

don't waste your credit

So I want preface this by saying my favorite book of all time is American Desperado by Evan Wright. In my opinion, it is the best book of all time. I understand that to make a good story, you have to exaggerate. But this wasn't as good. Either way, I can't recommend fully.
