You thought your first week at work was bad? How about turning up unarmed to a gunfight…

It was meant to be a routine bust on a Caribbean beach. It ended with machine-gun fire and a dead body. This is Barbados in the 1980s. A tropical paradise on the surface, but part of a vast drug smuggling network.

Former UK Customs officer Graham Honey takes us inside two of the most dangerous postings of the global drug war: Barbados and Miami.

From a gunfight on his second day, to tracking cocaine routes stretching from Venezuela to London, we reveal how quickly operations can spiral and how international drug enforcement really works when the shooting starts.
