THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER BY AUSTRALIAN AUTHOR KATHRYN BONELLA

'It's snowing in Bali.' Among Bali's drug dealers, this is the secret code for a huge cocaine shipment having just landed. For the men who run the country's drug empires, it's time to get rich and party hard.

Snowing in Bali is the true crime story of the organised drug trafficking and dealing scene that's made Bali one of the world's most important destinations in the global distribution of narcotics. With its central location in the Asia Pacific market, its thriving tourist industry to act as cover for importation, and a culture of corruption that can easily help law enforcement turn a blind eye, Bali has long been a paradise for traffickers as well as for holiday-makers.

Kathryn Bonella, bestselling true crime author of Hotel Kerobokan and Operation Playboy, has been given extraordinary access into the lives of some of the biggest players in Bali's mafia-like drug world, both past and present. In this international true crime biography, she charts their rise to incredible wealth and power and their drug-fuelled lifestyles, filled with orgies, outrageous extravagance and surfing. But running international criminal drug empires in Bali can also be a highly risky business, with terrible consequences for those caught and convicted.

If you love true crime or organised crime thrillers, drug bust stories, espionage, murder and mayhem, mafia films, international mystery and crime, heists and biographies then this is the true crime biography for you...

From the internationally bestselling author of Hotel Kerobokan and Operation Playboy and co-author of Schapelle Corby's autobiography, this is the incredible, true life inside account of Bali's hidden drug world.

Perfect for fans of true crime stories and authors like Rusty Young, James Phelps, Chopper Read and Underbelly.

About the Author

With her bestselling books making a splash internationally, Kathryn Bonella, bestselling writer of true crime kindle, paperback and audible books, has established a global fan base. Her true crime books focussing on Bali, drug smuggling, surfing and Brazil have become compulsory reading for many surfers and travellers, especially those who travel to Bali and Brazil.

Kathryn studied as a journalist at RMIT in Melbourne, moved to London to freelance for print and TV, then returned to Australia in 2000 to produce for 60 Minutes.

It was a true crime story about a 27-year-old Australian beauty school student, Schapelle Corby, being arrested at Bali international airport with kilos of marijuana in her boogie-board bag that spring-boarded Kathryn from journalist to bestselling organised crime author. After covering the story for 60 Minutes, Kathryn was offered the chance to co-write Schapelle's autobiography, Schapelle Corby: My Story, with Schapelle. It went straight to number one.

Since then Kathryn has written three more international true crime bestsellers: Hotel Kerobokan, internationally titled Hotel K, which blew the lid off the notorious Bali jail; Snowing in Bali, a true life crime thriller about the island's cocaine dealers; and Operation Playboy, the adrenaline-pumping true crime story of surfers trafficking drugs across the globe and the international police chase for the organised crime gang.

In 2019, Kathryn and Schapelle updated My Story, 13 years after releasing the original.

If you are a fan of true crime biography books, mafia books, organised crime books, books about hoaxes, deceptions and murder and mayhem then these brilliant, bestselling books are for YOU!

Modern Day Animal Farm
Format: Paperback
📚Animal Pound ✍🏻Tom King Blurb: When animals grow tired of being caged and abused, it’s only a matter of time before they have nothing to lose but their cages… When an uprising puts a pound in control of the animals, they make quick comrades, united against everything that walks on two legs. But with this newfound power comes a sudden challenge: how best to lay the groundwork for this new democracy as they write their first constitution. The conditions are ripe for a dictator, primed for instating a new system of brutality and death. When two groups of animals work together will their efforts be enough to prevent further animal authoritarianism? Discover a timely graphic storytelling event from celebrated New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning writer Tom King (The Human Target, Love Everlasting) and New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-nominated artist Peter Gross (American Jesus, The Books of Magic), collaborating for the first time ever to bring this enduring Orwellian allegory to life for the 21st Century. Collects Animal Pound #1-5. My Thoughts: A retelling of Animal Farm but for modern audiences. Instead of focusing on the dangers of communism, it instead focuses on the dangers of fascism. I would say it's very heavy-handed in its obvious critique of the MAGA crowd, but also frightfully accurate and does very well at evoking emotion from you, the reader, who probably also just like me, would be very frustrated watching everyone fall for the the DJT-allegory.. This is the rare graphic novel meant to be given to non comics readers. Thanks NetGalley, BOOM! Studios and Author Tom King for the advanced copy of "Animal Pound" I am leaving my voluntary review in appreciation. #NetGalley #Boom!Studios #AnimalPound #TomKing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Modern Day Animal Farm
Format: Hardcover
This is a MUST read, quickly, before it is banned. King captures the modern political landscaper perfectly from the blind cult like following to the concerned and ignored, to the bullying, violence and normalization of the bizarre. This may be the most important Graphic Novel of the last 25 years. Were I a wealthy man I would purchase a copy for every American History Classroom.

Tom King’s Best
Format: Hardcover
This is easily the best thing Tom King has ever written, and I read it in a 2 hour burst where I couldn't put it down. Just a thrilling read where you cant help but keep turning the page, even though you can see this cant be leading to a happy ending. Animal Pound is a wonderful book which will eventually end up on high school and college reading lists, as it’s an important book with something to say, and the comparisons to Donald Trump’s rise to power are obvious and scary. This is the rare graphic novel meant to be given to non comics readers.

The talking animal book that talks down to you
Format: Hardcover
You hear the snap of Tom King high-fiving himself for his own genius as he turns a cat and dog into philosopher-poets in the first few pages. The story never comes out of its self-congratulatory spell as we’re supposed to buy this as the heir to Animal Farm. SPOILERS The animals take over the town/county pound, chasing the workers away before anymore animals can be euthanized. And guess what? The workers never come back. Nobody comes back. But they keep the lights, and electric on. ‘Let the animals keep it’ were left to assume the county trustees said. It might work as a fable if King didn’t ground it so much in the real world. The animals learn how to use the webcam, capture online donations, and use those donations to buy food. Want to see a world where animals who could leave the pound at any time struggle for self-governance? Good. Want to see a dog typing on a computer keyboard? Good. So what’s the real agenda? Well, ideologies, don’t worry. The story has a Trump analog - a bulldog. And the dumb dogs (Republicans) love this bulldog, and the wise cats (Democrats) hate this bulldog, and the rabbits (Latinos, I think), don’t know what to do. Some rabbits like the bulldog, even though he’s working against their self-interest (how Dems portray the pro-Trump Hispanic vote). ‘It’s a fable’, those who love the book will shout again. I see thee nay. You can’t have your webcam and fable too. Really well drawn, though.
