  It tells the true story of legendary cocaine smuggler, Zachary Swan, whose exploits and scams in the sixties and seventies baffled 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 combination of Sabbag's sandpaper dry wit and meticulous research, with Swan's roller-coaster ride lifestyle, have made Snowblind a book of enduring appeal.
