"In the late 1980s, the emergence of gangsta rap shifted the epicenter of hip-hop from New York to Los Angeles. N.W.A.'s shocking success led to rivalries between members, backlash from the FBI, politicians, and police, and eventually an all-out war between East and West Coast rappers. In the process, hip-hop burst into mainstream America at a time of immense social change."-- Back cover

Spannend wie ein Krimi: Die »Panama-Papers« des globalen Drogenmarkts. Mit dem heutigen Wissen lassen sich beinahe unbegrenzt psychoaktive Substanzen entwickeln, darunter auch das Schmerzmittel Fentanyl. Es ist etwa 100 Mal stärker als Morphin und führt jedes Jahr zu Tausenden Drogentodesfällen, vor allem in den USA, aber zunehmend auch in Europa. Ben Westhoff hat vier Jahre zum globalen Netzwerk der Produzenten und Profiteure der neuen Drogen recherchiert und erzählt darüber in einem packenden Bericht – ebenso wie über die meist erfolglosen Versuche, sich den Kartellen entgegenzustemmen. Westhoff ist überzeugt: Strafen und Repression helfen nicht, wichtig sind vielmehr Aufklärung, Unterstützung und Angebote, um Schäden an Leib und Leben zu minimieren.
