Quick quotes

    I learned that my biological father was Pablo Escobar, the most notorious gangster in the history of the world. I had met him only fleetingly, unaware of our connection — or that there were times he was prepared to kill to win me back.” (Page 7)

    At that age he had three passions; football, smoking marijuana and girls.” (Page 28)

    Keeping Pablo Escobar on side — and with him the main smuggling operation in Medellin… De La Rue would be on the front line with the cocaine traffickers. They would be able to track the money. They would be able to provide the US with the intelligence it desired so much. They would achieve the goals set out by Sir Arthur all those years earlier. “(Page 103)
