NARCO X: God created man, man created ecstasy, and I made it for the Sinaloa Cartel and the CIA (Pills of God)

With over 20 years in the narcotics business, Australian-born Steven Valentino (Real name Steven Spaliviero) knows a thing or two about drug trafficking and the risks involved. Dropping out of school as a teenager, Valentino would later further his education in a California state prison, but the subjects they offer in one of Americas hardest prisons wont look good on your job resume unless youre applying for a job with the Sinaloa cartel. Arriving in Los Angeles with just a few dollars in his pocket, Valentino carved his name deep into the US Ecstasy market. He owned fast cars, lived in a beachfront mansion, rubbed shoulders with Hollywoods elite, and had Charlotte, a stunning Swedish model by his side. However, in the underworld things can go wrong quickly and he became a fugitive of the United States, hiding in the depths of the Colombian jungle. Inspired by his first book, Pills of God, Valentino tells an new and untold version of crimes that were previously restricted to tell due to the Proceeds of Crime Act and legal proceedings. This sensational true story places the reader in the shoes of a major narcotics producer and reveals his motives to become one of the largest Ecstasy manufacturer in history. Valentino shares intimate details of his life from a bully kid to becoming involved with the Sinaloa cartel and his close relationship with a CIA official who helped him traffic $21 billion of narcotics around the world. Fueled by love, greed, betrayal, and revenge, this astonishing story is captivating and will transport you away from the world you know and expose the mindset of a drug trafficker who, in the end, had nothing to lose...
