{"product_id":"9781788406154","title":"Killing Maradona : How cocaine, the Camorra, cartels and crime corrupted football's greatest talent - David Arrowsmith","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrugs, cartels, mafia, addiction, the FBI, and coercion - this is the untold story behind the tragic decline of football's most gifted and controversial legend. Maradona was football's ultimate genius - a magician on the pitch whose talent rivalled only Pel�. But off the field, the boy from the barrios of Buenos Aires became entangled in a dark web of criminal influence and personal demons. From the Cali Cartel's attempts to lure him into the drug trade, to the Camorra's grip on his life in Naples; from clashes with the Italian government to Pablo Escobar's sinister hospitality, Maradona's life was a battleground far beyond football. Battling addiction, betrayal, and exploitation, Maradona's story is one of genius corrupted - a man caught between adulation and self-destruction, whose medical neglect and FBI scrutiny culminated in a tragic end. Marking the 40th anniversary of Argentina's legendary 1986 World Cup victory, Killing Maradona is a searing investigation into the forces that destroyed football's first 'Golden Boy.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Arrowsmith","offers":[{"title":"336 pages \/ 21\/05\/2026 \/ True crime","offer_id":57110592389495,"sku":"9781788406154","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781788406154_539ee3a3-2cb1-404a-b09d-44e8ad289d4f.jpg?v=1780999271","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781788406154","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
