- Keep. Ebsco search finds reviews in Kirkus (Kirkus Reviews. 10/15/2011, Vol. 79 Issue 20, p1909-1910) and Publishers Weekly (Publishers Weekly. 2/27/2012, Vol. 259 Issue 9, p83). Proquest finds another review (Cogdill, Oline H. South Florida Sun-Sentinel 04 Dec 2011: G.11), an interview on NPR (From Mafia Soldier To Cocaine Cowboy Weekend All Things Considered; Washington, D.C. : NPR. (Oct 30, 2011)). The audiobook (read by Mark Bramhall) received a 2012 Listen-Up Award (The 2012 Listen-Up Awards. By: BORETZ, ADAM, Publishers Weekly, 00000019, 1/7/2013, Vol. 260, Issue 1). Also suggestion that there was an upcoming film adapted by William Monahan (King, Loren Boston Globe. 21 Dec 2014: N.10.) There's a lot of press about it in around 2012–13. I think the film ended up being retitled Cocaine Cowboys (2014). Espresso Addict (talk) 02:39, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
