About this listen

When Kentucky blueblood Drew Thornton parachuted to his death in September 1985 - carrying thousands in cash and 150 pounds of cocaine - the gruesome end of his startling life blew open a scandal that reached to the most secret circles of the US government. The story of Thornton and “The Company” he served, and the lone heroic fight of State Policeman Ralph Ross against an international web of corruption, is one of the most portentous tales of the 20th century.

Would love to hear the story, but I can't listen to Kate Mulligan. She sounds like a robot. Made it through 2 minutes 51 and had to stop.

Another bad narrator

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Sounds like it was read by a boring robot. The real story is about state and police corruption, don’t go thinking there is any cocaine bear drama

So dull
