_The Accountant’s Story_ by Roberto Escobar, brother of Pablo Escobar, Colombian drug kingpin and the man responsible for beginning the large-scale importation of cocaine to the US and elsewhere. Roberto wrote the story of their childhood and the rise of their empire after Pablo’s death and his own conviction and imprisonment. Absolutely fascinating and chilling.
