"This is the story of the drug lord you likely have never heard of but who, with his online drug websites, probably has had a lot greater impact on your life than those from Latin America making bigger headlines. The hunt to finally arrest Paul Le Roux reads like a mercenary thriller at times, but it also shines a light on hardworking U.S. government agents who don’t give up, despite Le Roux’s slippery nature as he hopscotches around the globe. It is a fascinating window into modern organized crime and the stories of people who paid the price to allow him to get away with it."
