For nearly a decade, Ecstasy kingpin Oded Tuito was the
mastermind behind a drug ring that used strippers and
Hassidic teenagers to mule millions of pills from Holland to
the party triangle—Los Angeles, New York, and
Miami.
Chemical Cowboys is a thrilling journey
through the groundbreaking undercover investigations that
led to the toppling of a billion-dollar Ecstasy trafficking
network— starting in 1995 when NewYork DEA Agent Robert
Gagne infiltrated club land to uncover a thriving drug scene
supported by two cultures: pill-popping club kids and
Israeli dealers.
Gagne’s obsessive mission to take
down Tuito’s network met unexpected challenges and personal
discoveries that almost crippled his own family.Weaved into
the narrative are the stories of Tuito’s underlings who
struggled with addiction as they ran from the law, and the
compelling experiences of a veteran Israeli police officer
who aided Gagne while chasing after his own target—a violent
Mob boss who saw the riches to be made in Ecstasy and began
to import his own pills and turf warfare to the
U.S.
Chemical Cowboys offers a taut,
behind-the-scenes glimpse into an international criminal
enterprise as daring as it is deadly.
