Rejecting the conventional idea that drug trafficking is dominated by large criminal organizations, uses the words of those involved, both the dealers and the detectives, to reveal the diversity of drug trafficking today and provide an account of how police operations work.

Traffickers presents new findings into the most mythologised and least understood area of crime and law enforcement. The chamelion reality of the world of drug trafficking is described in the words of traffickers and detectives. Drug enforcement combines the banal and spectacular in surveillance, covert operations and criminal intelligence. The war on drugs is a harbinger of wider changes in the organisation of policing and international cooperation. Traffickers explores the struggle that transforms policing and punishment as it stimulates the imagination.
