Read it:

Paraguay is a landlocked country of six and a half million people, beside two of the world's largest dams and South America's busiest smuggling frontier. Its dictator treated contraband as the price of peace, a historian writes, and the trade outlived him: cigarettes, marijuana, cocaine in sugar sacks, European pistols for Brazilian gangs. It follows a prosecutor murdered on his honeymoon, a senator convicted of laundering for a cocaine network, a minister convicted over a yacht, a moneylender who filed false complaints against his own debtors, a former president sanctioned by Washington and never charged at home, and murdered reporters. Covers Horacio Cartes and Tabacalera del Este, Sebastián Marset and Miguel Ángel Insfrán's network, Erico Galeano and Deportivo Capiatá, and Darío Messer and his Paraguayan estates.
