Killing Pablo is the inside story of the brutal rise and violent fall of the Colombian cocaine cartel kingpin, whose criminal empire held a nation of thirty million hostage, a reign of terror that would end only with his death.

September #Roll100 selections...I'll pull all three but will probably get to only one as I've got quite the load from the library out. May go with “Killing Pablo“ but we'll see what September brings.

I've enjoyed several of this author's books, including this one. Incredible how long Escobar was able to evade law enforcement. Columbia as a nation-state is completely hopeless.

Up next on my TBR. Gotta try to finish Killing Pablo before Narcos s.3 releases on Sept 1 and IT before the new movie comes out Sept 7 (~140 pgs left) 😬

This book is awesome. If you love Narcos, this is like a retelling of the first two seasons. You should just play Tuyo before reading each chapter 😉#litsyatoz #narcos

Remembered that season two of Narcos landed on Netflix last Friday, so I inhaled the first four episodes this afternoon! It's fascinating and riveting, even after having read Bowen's fantastic book and knowing how it will play out.

OSChamberlain I'm on episode 203. This man is such an incredible actor. It's one thing when a British actor does an American accent or vice versa, but this man literally learned the Spanish language AND the Colombian dialect just for this role. Phenomenal! 8y

kristinshafel I'm impressed with how Moura conveys different facets of Escobar's personality, family man vs ruthless killer vs community advocate... and the show still makes it clear Escobar is a true villian, not even an anti-hero. 8y
sofiaga We in Costa Rica are super excited. The actor who plays Limón is the first tico to make it to Netflix 8y
Biljana I loved Narcos, my husband was mad about the Killing Pablo and is glued to the second series now. 8y
