The real narcos

Long before Netflix’s blockbuster Narcos, US Drug Enforcement agents Steve Murphy and Javier Peño found themselves in Colombia following the trail of the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar - two American gringos with a price on their heads. This wasn’t Hollywood; this was real-life 1980s narco-terrorism.

 

TRUE SPIES

 

The silken spy

Aline Griffith was a New York model, fluent in Spanish, and determined to help during WWII. She ran a US spy ring in Madrid, even after marrying into Spanish aristocracy to become Countess of Romanones. She mingled with Jackie Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn between missions, but was Griffith really Jane Bond? Author Larry Loftis was determined to find out.
