Sea of Greed: The True Story of the Investigation and Prosecution of Manuel Antonio Noriega

When the Coast Guard hailed a Gulf Coast shrimp trawler near Cape Lookout, North Carolina on the fourth of July weekend in 1982, the routine stop set into motion a chain of events that ended with the U.S. invasion of Panama, the overthrow of dictator, Manuel Noriega, and the biggest drug bust in America’s history. Now, more than 30 years later, the full story is told in a gripping, true life account by the man who brought the drug lord to justice. J. Douglas McCullough, the U.S. attorney who unraveled the Cayman Island Cartel, reveals never before known facts of the case that began on the docks in the historic fishing village of Beaufort, North Carolina, when authorities found a shrimp boat full of marijuana.
