- aosaigh 8y agoMy understanding is that it's the same journalist who wrote that story/book being interviewed in the podcast (Evan Ratliff). Either way, the Atavist piece is a great read and very nicely presented
- wp381640 8y agoIt is - he's on a press tour for his book Mastermind which I just started and is good so far https://www.amazon.com/Mastermind-Drugs-Empire-Murder-Betrayal/dp/0399590412 https://www.amazon.com/Mastermind-Drugs-Empire-Murder-Betray... There is also a competing book that just came out called Hunting LeRoux: https://www.amazon.com/Hunting-LeRoux-Inside-Takedown-Criminal/dp/0062930516 https://www.amazon.com/Hunting-LeRoux-Inside-Takedown-Crimin... It is being developed into a film by Michael Mann Based on reviews and my reading so far Mastermind from OP author seems like the real deal
- Aissen 8y agoAs aosaigh said, it's the same author interviewed on the podcast. In addition to the Atavist magazine's publication, his book came out a few weeks ago. I had never heard of the story before, and now I can't wait for biopic :-)
