Griselda Blanco: Cocaine Godmother - True Story of Queen of the Cartel (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781917077347)

Griselda Blanco was not just another drug trafficker-she was a pioneer of the cocaine trade, a key architect of the Miami underworld, and one of the most dangerous figures in organized crime history. Her story is one of ambition, violence, and ultimate downfall, from her humble beginnings in Colombia to her rise as the "Cocaine Godmother" and her dominance of the U.S. drug market in the 1970s and '80s. Blanco revolutionized the drug trade, pioneering smuggling routes, ordering brutal assassinations, and amassing a fortune that rivaled the most infamous crime lords.

This book takes you deep into Blanco's world-the birth of the Miami drug wars, the era of the "Cocaine Cowboys," and the violent reign that made her one of the DEA's most wanted criminals. But power comes at a cost, and as the law closed in, the Queen of the Cartel faced the inevitable downfall that all criminal empires must confront.

Based on true events, Griselda Blanco: Cocaine Godmother is the definitive account of a woman who defied the odds, dominated a male-dominated underworld, and left behind a legacy of crime, wealth, and terror.
