Cocaina: A Book On Those Who Make It - Plot & Excerpts
Virginia knew that Aníbal, the nephew of president Julio César Turbay, was a typical Colombian madman — not afraid of anything — but she liked thrills and long parties, and this weekend was certainly starting to look promising. On any other property of this size it would have been impossible to drive at such high speed on such terrain; fences, barbed wire, gates, walls, and other gloom and doom would be dividing up the property to keep all the cows and bulls in place. But not here. Despite the fact that the hacienda was just ten miles from Medellín, it was as if they were riding through the savannahs of Africa. The owner of the estate, a local politician popular with the poor, was just about to arrive, and as they drove around the 3000-hectare property, their tour took them past elephants, giraffes, zebras, camels, hippopotamuses, and other animals, none of which are indigenous to South America. The property had its own helipads, a bullring, an airstrip, several lakes, luxury villas, a dinosaur park, and a museum with some of the most expensive vintage automobiles in the world.
