Snowing in Bali

From multi-million-dollar cocaine deals to the inside of an Indonesian high-security prison, Snowing in Bali is a fast-paced, uncensored journey into Bali’s hidden criminal underworld.

“It’s snowing in Bali.” Among Bali’s drug dealers, it’s code for a huge shipment of cocaine having just landed. For the men running the island’s drug empires, it means serious money — and serious partying.

Snowing in Bali is Kathryn Bonella’s bestselling true-crime account of the international drug trafficking scene operating behind Bali’s paradise image — a hidden world of cocaine, extraordinary wealth, corruption and organised crime.

Based on extensive firsthand interviews with the traffickers themselves and others inside Bali’s drug world, Bonella reveals how fortunes were made, cocaine moved across borders and extravagant lifestyles were built around surfing, parties and enormous amounts of money. But the rewards came with equally enormous risks — betrayal, police, prison and death row.
