Prologue

Beginning their travels hundreds of years ago concealed in desert caravans or hidden below decks within the cargo of the Ships of Tarshish, narcotics began their journey into the bodies and minds of man.

At even this very moment, driven by enormous profits and a lack of compassion for the sick and dishearten, drugs are still finding their way to the addicted and soon to be addicted in almost every village and city on our planet.

With each interception by authorities of their camouflaged venom, the cartel kings continue to magically manufacture yet another guise to send their deadly mixtures to market, exasperating and sometimes exhausting the resources and talents of the dedicated men and women in the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Customs Service.

This is a story of one of those ingenious schemes devised to ship drugs into the United States.
