Klappentext zu „Mr. Nice, English edition “
The incredible story of an unconventional lifeDuring the mid 1980s Howard Marks had forty three aliases, eighty nine phone lines and owned twenty five companies throughout the world.
At the height of his career he was smuggling consignments of up to thirty tons of marijuanna, and had contact with organisations as diverse as MI6, the CIA, the IRA and the Mafia. Following a worldwide operation by the Drug Enforcement Agency, he was busted and sentenced to twenty-five years in prison at the Terre Haute Penitentiary, Indiana. He was released in April 1995 after serving seven years of his sentence. Told with humour, charm and candour, Mr Nice is his own extraordinary story.
Autoren-Porträt von Howard Marks
Howard Marks, geb. 1945 in Kenfing Hill (Wales), war Physikstudent in Oxford. Durch den ersten Joint veränderte sich sein Leben. Er begann mit Haschisch zu dealen. Zuerst um sich selbst und seine Studienkollegen zu versorgen, dann um die gesamte Uni zu beliefern und sehr bald um in ganz England, Europa und weltweit aktiv zu werden. Mr. Nice war einer seiner mehr als 40 Tarnnahmen. Eine gigantische Fahndungsaktion der DEA führte 1988 in Spanien zu seiner Verhaftung. Er wurde an die USA ausgeliefert und in Miami zu 25 Jahren Hochsicherheitsgefängnis verurteilt.
