Chasing Mercury
Richard Pitt was one of the best-kept secrets in the 1980’s —a man who knew more than even the most relentless DEA and FBI agents could ever unravel. One agent confessed, “There’s one thing certain, Mr. Pitt—we’ll never know all that you know about this business.” Now, for the first time, Richard is ready to lift the veil on his past and reveal the raw, unfiltered truth.
From the cockpit of commercial airliners to the shadowy underbelly of international drug smuggling Chasing Mercury rips readers into a world where the risks are deadly, the payoffs are staggering, and every flight could be the last. As a struggling airline pilot, Richard found himself lured into a new career—one far more lucrative and infinitely more dangerous. A chance reunion with an old Air Force buddy propelled him straight into the heart of the Medellín Cartel. One day, he was flying domestic routes in the United State; the next, he was piloting twin-engine aircraft packed with millions in cocaine, navigating moonlit skies from Colombia to the U.S. East Coast, dodging radar, and outrunning death at every turn.
