Summary: The true story of the underground empire of crime detailing a world of men and women who engage massivley in every crime conceivable including murder, kidnapping, subversion, but chiefly in narcotics trafficking. In this work, revealing true identities, the author centres his narrative on three kings of the empire: Alberto Sicilia-Falcan, a homicidal and homosexual, devil-worshipping Cuban, ruler of the Mexican drug trade; David Steinberg, a young American entrepreneur who, at the age of 30, was earning a million dollars a day from marijuana; and Lu Hsu-Shui, a reclusive Chinese responsible for most of the heroin trade from south-east Asia. These men dealt at the highest levels, even with presidents of nations, and they had the financial power to buy their own armies, diplomats, intelligence services, banks, merchant fleets and airlines. James Milles worked from the inside of Centrac (the US government agency set up to combat multi-national drug networks) for five years, and he had access to both documents from, and personnel of, Centrac. He worked with agents, prosecutors, informants and in many cases, the criminals themselves.
