When the Coast Guard hailed a Gulf Coast shrimp trawler near Cape Lookout, North Carolina on fourth of July weekend 1982, the routine stop set in motion a chain of events that ended with the U.S. invasion of Panama, overthrow of dictator Manuel Noriega, and the biggest drug bust in America’s history.
Now, more than 25 years later, the full story is told in a gripping true-life account by the man who brought the drug lord to justice. J. Douglas McCullough, the U.S. attorney who unraveled the Cayman Island cartel, reveals never-before-known facts of the case that began on the docks of the historic fishing village of Beaufort, North Carolina when authorities found a shrimp boat full of marijuana.
