Amazon Gold: Cocaine - Hardcover

While continuing to buy mining assets from companies in Ecuador's Amazon jungle, the new Chinese owners were adding refined cocaine production to their mineral processing plants. Their surreptitious activity took business away from the local Los Choneros drug cartel, reduced the revenue for the Indigenous farmers and blocked the government's need to be involved.

The purified and pre-cut cocaine was hidden in the copper and gold concentrate shipped to China for distribution to the West. When the Ecuadorian ambassador begged for help from Stockman, the managing director of the Organization for Restructuring Business (ORB), he assembled his key people, including Matthew Black and Emma Stone, to neutralize the Chinese-owned Zamora copper and gold plant, a major producer of cocaine hydroxide.

ORB concocts a plan to rid Ecuador of the Chinese involvement in the cocaine industry and return it to a state where the government can once again work with who they know best: the cartels, jungle farmers and Indigenous groups.
