Picking up "Killing Pablo" today. Any other true crime books you recommend? I've read most of the books about the italian mafia and some on the russian mob. Want to read more on the cartels as well.

D´dranguetta , Gomorra, and another one called Mafia by an english writer.

Both are real histories of dope and prostituion in the Mediterranean ang arab countries.

I also checked another by Luca Rastello about coke, he says that cocke represents the 15-20 % of Italy , Spain and USA economy and 65% of Mexico.

I wanna read that one.

Thanks, just finished reading "Killing Pablo", "The Last Godfather (joey massino)" and "The Last Godfathers (about the corleonesi)". I recommend all three.

Not mafia related and an old one, but In Cold Blood is excellent.

Oh that was the one I said. Great book, I went very sad to read what those russian mobsters were doing with those pretty blonde russian teens. They kidnapped to prostitute them on Abu dabi or similar and got aids or killed but never came back.

I´ll hang them all slowly.
