Smokescreen by Robert Sabbag
When Allen Long's attempts to make a documentary on drug smuggling stalled for cash, smuggling seemed the obvious way to raise the necessary money. Millions of dollars later the film still hadn't been made; but Long's own life as a pioneering dope smuggler had played out like a Hollywood movie - the seat-of-the-pants rides in decrepit DC3's into the Colombian badlands, the near misses with law enforcement agencies, the fortunes earned and blown, the models, the partying, the Studio 54 years, being busted ...Written by Robert Sabbag, the undisputed master of the genre, Smokescreen is a hilarious piece of hair-raising reportage that will keep your pulse raising to the very last page.
