About the Book

While on assignment in Thailand, journalist Hazel Friedman uncovered the disturbing stories of South Africans imprisoned abroad for drug trafficking — many of whom were not hardened criminals, but victims of manipulation and deception.

The term “dead cows” refers to drug mules who are deliberately sacrificed by trafficking networks — set up to be caught, distracting authorities while larger shipments move through undetected.

Through firsthand accounts, undercover investigation and deeply personal stories, Friedman reveals the human cost behind global narcotics trafficking, exposing how vulnerable individuals are coerced into dangerous and often life-destroying situations.

This gripping exposé sheds light on a hidden world of exploitation, crime and survival, challenging readers to reconsider who the real victims are in the war on drugs.
