Paperback. Condición: Good. Bowden has a way of making modern nonfiction read like the best of novels . . . Killing Pablo] is absolutely riveting.--Denver Post A tour de force of investigative journalism, Killing Pablo is the story of the vio-lent rise and fall of Pablo Escobar, the head of the Colombian Medellin cocaine cartel.
