“Killing Pablo: The Hunt for the World’s Greatest Outlaw”, by Mark Bowden. The book is about the Colombian cocaine kingpin, Pablo Escobar, and the joint U.S.-Colombian effort to eventually hunt him down. The author jumps around a bit - I would have preferred that he kept everything more linear in terms of when things happened, since it is sometimes confusing when he jumps back and forth in time. Still, it’s an interesting read. The level of corruption and violence in Colombia at the time (mid-70’s to early 1990’s) was astounding, as was Pablo’s utter ruthlessness.
