John Bennett Knihy

Příběh německého sirotka vzatého na výchovu do poválečné Ameriky, příběh člověka osudově připoutaného k vlastní minulosti.

Na pozadí staleté historie obchodu s drogami se odvíjí příběh válečného veterána Tobiase, potomka rodu podloudných obchodníků, který se rozhodne vytvořit vlastní kartel a vzít vítr z plachet všem ostatním, i těm mexickým – Moralesovu a Escóbarovu. Ti si to samozřejmě nenechají líbit. Kromě dobrodružné linie se odvíjí i další témata: čest, bratrství zpečetěné válkou, možnost zvrátit osud a boj s prostředností. Vedlejší postavou románu je i Bodo, známý z Bennettova románu Frajer Bodo (Maťa 1997).
