Snowblind
Snowblind is the story of legendary cocaine smuggler, Zachary Swan, whose exploits and scams in the sixties and early seventies ran rings around police and customs officials alike. 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 paranoia are captured brilliantly. The result is one of the funniest and most illuminating books about the drug trade ever written – a genuine underground classic.
