Snowblind
Now available from Grove Press, Snowblind, Robert Sabbag`s all-out, non-stop, and now-classic look at the cocaine trade, follows the brief, Roman-candle career of American smuggler Zachary Swan and the intricate scams he rode to glory in the 1970s. From Colombia to New York, Swan brought better living through chemistry to those who were buying, inventing dazzling deceptions to stay one step ahead of the narcs. In the process he discovered a hip, dangerous, high-velocity world that Sabbag evokes with extraordinary power and humor.
