by John Madinger (Author)
American's First Drug Runner
In 1886, five men met at San Francisco's luxurious Baldwin Hotel to discuss a most profitable business: opium smuggling. The exploits of Will Whaley and his partners became the stuff of legend, with tales of landing contraband on deserted shores by the light of the moon, voyages across the Pacific, typhoons, and shipwrecks. Their co-conspirator was the notorious Halcyon, a schooner that novelist once Jack London admiringly wrote "sailed like a witch".
Join author and career law enforcement agent John Madinger as he uncovers the danger, betrayals, and mysterious deaths of America's first organized drug trafficking ring.
