From New York to Colombia, Swan enthusiastically plied his trade. Robert Sabbag's riveting account of Swan's brief career provides a compulsive insight into the cocaine underworld in which all the double-dealing, crazy characters and over-the-shoulder paranoia are captured brilliantly.The result is one of the funniest and most illuminating books about drugs ever written - a genuine underground classic.
This new Rebel Inc Classic comes with a specially commissioned introduction by another legendary smuggler: Howard Marks aka Mr Nice.

'Mr Sabbag is a first-rate writer ... His book is a triumphant piece of
reporting.'
