The death of his son to an opiate overdose fuels a celebrated DEA agent's quest to win the War on Drugs.After a stellar twenty-three-year career with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Dan Addario's own part fighting in the War on Drugs didn't end. For good reason. Because in July of 1993, he lost his thirty-one-year-old son to a crisis that shows no signs of abating. With Chasing the Dragon, Addario becomes the highest-ranking DEA agent ever to pen a book that includes the sum total of his experiences investigating narcotics hotbeds across the globe. These events include a stint as DEA's regional director for the entire continent of South America, followed by Addario's tenure running drug interdiction efforts in the infamous Golden Triangle.

A monster no one else has ever been able to catch. Until now. …
