The Last Kilo

In The Last Kilo, true-crime author T. J. English explores the rise and fall of "Los Muchachos," a prominent cocaine trafficking organization in 1980s Miami. Centered on Willy Falcon, a Cuban exile who transitioned from anti-Castro activism to cocaine smuggling, the narrative delves into the corruption and collaboration among law enforcement and political figures that fueled this drug empire. Throughout the story, Falcon and his partners not only amassed wealth but also became icons of an era defined by excess, pleasure, and ultimately, the darker consequences of their lifestyle, leading to intense scrutiny and the onset of the War on Drugs. Drawing on exclusive interviews, English reveals the intricate dynamics of organized crime and its impact on those involved.
