About this listen
COCAINE COWBOYS tells the story of Ireland's love affair with cocaine since it first washed ashore on Cork's rugged coast to the billion-euro trade it has become. From Ireland's first cocaine lord and his attempts to establish a direct route from Miami to Dublin to the modern-day violence that led to the brutal dismemberment of teenager Keane Mulready Woods, the book will follow the stories and the increasing chaos that has engulfed those desperate for a slice of this modern day gold rush. Along the way it details how cocaine has woven bonds between high society and the underworld, tracing the deal that killed the model Katy French and detailing how the Kinahan Cartel and Ireland's one time richest and most influential family joined forces to wash dirty money. COCAINE COWBOYS is the definitive tale of the rise of Colombia's most famous export to become the drug of a nation.

Best book I've bought in a long while.
Excellent history and research. Brilliantly cohesive writing for a complex history and loved Nicola Tallant's narration. Would love to hear more like this.

Insightful and brutal.
A nice thorough insight into the white powderstorm sweeping across the Republic. The narrator has a nice tone and tempo, and there is no issue lisening his to her for hours on end.
I’ve read a bit about several mentioned people and groups mentioned in the book, and the writer tried to put effort into mentioned what they find relevant. A couple longer sidestories, where you are thinking ‘how is this relevant?’, until the culmination where you think ‘Ahh, okay I see now’. The time jumps and focus switches aren’t too confusing. Good book.

Great factual book
Loved the linking of all the OCGs from 90s to present day. Great writer and great listen although very frightening what the future generation will be exposed too.

Can be hard to follow at times
I thought the book could be hard to follow and keep track of everything happening, but I think this is the nature of the events happening.

Surprisingly great read/listen!
I was hesitant at first to listen to this book but only because I thought I knew everything about Irish gangland already. pretty much everything I read is gangland/narco related books from all over the world.
Really enjoyed hearing all the information about the Mansfield's and Katy French. heard most of it before but there is some stuff in there I never knew.
This book would definitely be amazing to anybody who is not fully clued in on Irish narco history
overall definitely worth a listen or maybe you might prefer to read it if, like me, you don't like when people pronounce the L's in medellín 😁

The amount of people dead/murdered/imprisoned......
It really makes a huge difference when the narrator is also the writer.
It was really well delivered, easy, listening, and easy to follow.
