"Mr. Nice"

43 identities, 89 telephone lines, 25 screen companies... Howard Marks juggled for twenty years with tons of hashish and millions of dollars.

Playing on his links with the CIA, the IRA, the Triads and the Mafia without ever losing his sense of humour and non-violence, this romantic smuggler is finally captured at the end of a hunt led by fourteen countries, and incarcerated in the harshest of American penitentiaries. He will remain there for seven years.

It was on his release from prison that Howard Marks wrote Mr Nice, which has now become a cult book worldwide. Full text, 600 pages, 100 photos.
