Chemical Cowboys: The DEA's Secret Mission to Hunt Down a Notorious Ecstasy Kingpin by Lisa Sweetingham fascinating look at how an Israeli organized crime figure was arrested for selling Ecstasy. The narrative follows several of the agents as well as members of the crime family. Drugs were made in the Netherlands then smuggled into New York where they were distributed in clubs. The book also contains an interesting history of the creation of Ecstasy and it's illegal status. No citations but I can't really fault Sweetingham for that. There are some suggestions for further reading. A fast paced informative read.
Highly recommended.
