From the author of the #1 international bestseller Gomorrah comes anelectrifying investigation of the international cocaine trade, as viciousas it is powerful, and its hidden role in the global economy
In many countries, 000 flour is the finest on the market. It is hard to find, but it is soft, light, almost impalpable like the purest, highest qualitygrade of cocaine.

Gomorrah, Saviano s explosive account of theNeapolitan mob, the Camorra, was a worldwidepublishing sensation. It struck such a nerve withthe Camorra that Saviano has had to live undertwenty-four-hour police protection for morethan eight years. During this time he has cometo know law enforcement agencies and officialsaround the world. With their cooperation, Savianohas broadened his perspective to take in the entireglobal corporate entity that is the drug trade andthe complex money-laundering operations thatallow it to function, often with the complicity ofthe world s biggest banks.
The result is a truly harrowing andgroundbreaking synthesis of intimate literarynarrative and geopolitical analysis of one of themost powerful dark forces in our economy.Saviano tracks the shift in the cocaine trade s axis ofpower, from Colombia to Mexico, and relates howthe Latin American cartels and gangs have forgedalliances, first with the Italian crime syndicates, then with the Russians, Africans, and others. Onthe one hand, he charts a remarkable increase insophistication as these criminal entities diversifyinto many other products and markets. On theother, he reveals the astonishing increase in theseverity of violence as they have fought to protectand extend their power.
Saviano is a writer and journalist of rarecourage and a thinker of impressive intellectualdepth, able to see the connections between farflungphenomena and bind them into a singleepic story. Most drug-war narratives feel safelyremoved from our own lives; Saviano's offersno such comfort. As heart racing as it is heady, ZeroZeroZero is a fusion of disparate genres intoa brilliant new form that can rightly be calledSavianoesque.

Hardback. Condition: Good. An electrifying, internationally bestselling investigation of the global cocaine trade soon to be a series on Amazon starring Andrea Riseborough, Dane DeHaan, and Gabryel Byrne, from the author of the #1 international bestseller Gomorrah Zero zero zero flour is the finest, whitest available. It is also the nickname among narcotraffickers for the purest cocaine on the market. And it is the title of Roberto Saviano's unforgettable exploration of the inner workings of the global cocaine trade--its rules and armies, and the true depth of its reach into the world economy. Saviano's Gomorrah, his explosive account of the Neapolitan mob, the Camorra, was a worldwide sensation. It struck such a nerve with the Camorra that Saviano has lived with twenty-four-hour police protection for more than eight years. During this time he has come to know law enforcement agencies and officials around the world. With their cooperation, Savaiano has broadened his perspective to take in the entire global corporate entity that is the drug trade and the complex money-laundering operations that allow it to function, often with the help of the world's biggest banks. The result is a harrowing and groundbreaking synthesis of literary narrative and geopolitical analysis exploring one of the most powerful dark forces in our economy. Saviano tracks the shift in the cocaine trade's axis of power, from Colombia to Mexico, and relates how the Latin American cartels and gangs have forged alliances with crime syndicates across the globe. He charts the increasing sophistication of these criminal entities as they diversify into other products and markets. He also reveals the astonishing increase in the severity of violence as they have fought to protect and extend their power. Saviano is a writer and journalist of rare courage and a thinker of impressive intellectual depth, able to see connections between far-flung phenomena and bind them into a single epic story. Most drug-war narratives feel safely removed from our own lives; Saviano offers no such comfort. Both heart-racing and eye-opening, ZeroZeroZero is an investigative story like none other. Praise for ZerZeroZero Saviano] has developed a literary style that switches from vivid descriptions of human depravity to a philosophical consideration of the meaning of violence in the modern world. . . . Most important of all is the hope Saviano gives to countless victims of criminal violence by standing up to its perpetrators. --Financial Times. Seller Inventory # 00104337867
