HUNTING LEROUX: The Inside Story of the DEA Takedown of a Criminal Genius and His Empire (Morrow, 2/19/19, 9780062859136, $27.99), is the story of Paul LeRoux, a tech entrepreneur-turned-arms-merchant captured while creating an “Everything Store” to serve rogue nations, warlords, insurgencies, transnational organized crime, and anyone with money. LeRoux’s business empire, spanning every continent but Antarctica, is a journey into a vast underground that most people don't know exists and that is driving wars and terrorism. It is being made into a major motion picture by the famed writer-director-producer Michael Mann.
