COCAINE COWBOYS tells the story of Ireland's love affair with cocaine since it first washed ashore on Cork's rugged coast to the billion-euro trade it has become. From Ireland's first cocaine lord and his attempts to establish a direct route from Miami to Dublin to the modern-day violence that led to the brutal dismemberment of teenager Keane Mulready Woods, the book will follow the stories and the increasing chaos that has engulfed those desperate for a slice of this modern day gold rush. Along the way it details how cocaine has woven bonds between high society and the underworld, tracing the deal that killed the model Katy French and detailing how the Kinahan Cartel and Ireland's one time richest and most influential family joined forces to wash dirty money. COCAINE COWBOYS is the definitive tale of the rise of Colombia's most famous export to become the drug of a nation.

The web of the real story, brilliant well written and told , The background we never hear about or are so busy we just say it’s another headline, interesting to see how it works and the lengths and cost to people’s lives, and how someone can decide who is next, and the cost to families.

Brilliant, mind blowing reality,

This book outlines the frightening enormity of the cocaine issue in Ireland and an insight into the characters responsible for its supply.

Nicola's narration of her knowledge and experience in this field is excellent. While the topic and crimes are heavy and sad to listen to at times, I feel Nicola balances the facts, while also portraying the sheer devastation the impact of these crimes have on individuals, their families, local communities and wider society.

Great listen, great content, lots of food for thought!

A thorough an compelling insight. Great Listen
