About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The closest you’ll ever get to the most infamous drug kingpin in modern history, told by the person who stood by his side

The story of Pablo Escobar, one of the wealthiest, powerful and violent criminals of all time has fascinated the world. Yet the one person closest to him has never spoken out – until now. Maria Victoria Henao met Pablo when she was 13, eloped with him at 15, and despite his numerous infidelities and violence, stayed by his side for the following 16 years until his death. At the same time, she urged him to make peace with his enemies and managed to negotiate her and her children’s freedom after Pablo’s demise.

On the 25th anniversary of Pablo’s death, the most intriguing character in the Escobar narrative is ready to share her story and reveal the real man behind the legend.

Fascinating story! I don't feel sorry for Pablos wife tho,it sounds like she was well aware of what he was up to and she had no problem with spending his drug money and brag about.She put her kids through hell because she was selfish and materialistic.

Loved it!!!

I loved this book a bare all book. It’s crazy to think how young this woman was...a child intact when she got involved with Pablo. It’s not easy to escape a life like that. I felt very sorry for her being trapped in that life. Classic story very interesting

Very detailed account
