Books like Mr. Nice by Howard Marks


Howard Marks, a former Oxford postgraduate, became a master of illicit smuggling in the 1980s, operating forty‑three aliases and eighty‑nine phone lines while running twenty‑five international companies. He transformed bars, recording studios and offshore banks into money‑laundering fronts to traffic large quantities of hashish between Pakistan, Thailand, Europe and North America. Marks’ career intersected with MI6, the CIA, the IRA and the Mafia, and he was known for smuggling up to fifty tons of narcotics in a single operation. With humour, charm and candour, he recounts his life in ‘Mr. Nice’, a memoir that also serves as a biography of Britain’s most notorious drug dealer.
