Meer over het boek
As a young man in his twenties with an insatiable thirst for money and power, Jorge Valdes worked his way up inside Colombia's powerful Medellin drug cartel. His key position as head of U.S. operations brought him into direct contact with presidents, generals, Hollywood celebrities, hired killers, and kidnappers. This Cuban immigrant, raised in poverty, was living the high life in more ways than one. His deeds took him from the lap of luxury to the depths of prison and back again. Then an incredible thing happened. Jorge Valdes encountered a person much greater than the strongest drug lord, someone who offered something more satisfying than women, drugs, money, prestige, or power. Reading more like a fast-paced novel of intrigue than a traditional biography, Coming Clean offers an insider's view of the drug industry and the greed that drives it.
