Killing Pablo - by Mark Bowden

On the day Pablo Escobar was killed - December 2, 1993 - his mother was nearby.  Making her way through the gathering crowds, she saw her son's body.  Trying to hold her emotions in check, Hermilda told a reporter:  "At least now he is at rest."

Pablo Escobar died violently.  Who was he?  How did he become one of the world's most-wanted men?  Mark Bowden tells the story in "Killing Pablo."
