Maranoia: Weed, Greed, and the End of CaliforniaHardcover, 9 September 2014

The transformation of Northern California into a haven for growers is an under-reported story. Rose's book depicts a far different scene to the one that law enforcers - or growers themselves - tend to depict. Far from being an idealistic world of peaceful pioneers, Northern California is a violent and mercantile place of guns, money and high stakes deals.
