Product Description
Told from the viewpoint of an impressionable young entrepreneur named Jay Carter Brown, this memoir quickly dives into the gritty underbelly of the international drug trade. The story begins with minor league smuggling scams between Canada and the Caribbean that soon escalate to multi-ton shipments of grass and hash from the Caribbean and the Middle East. All goes well for a time, but as the stakes grow higher, inevitable setbacks occur. Drug-runners, police, jealous friends, and rival gangs all contribute to this extraordinary story of a young man who became involved at the highest levels of the drug trade and lived to tell about it.
reviews
smugglers blues 
SB is an excellent fast paced read-unusual in that it was not written from a jail cell like so many books of this genre. I found the author to be credible in his story and insightful in his views. Highly recommended.

You Can't tell a Book by its Cover 
Yes, when a book cover has a dark shadowy picture of palm leaves and an old plane anchored in a lagoon you just know you're in for a real thriller. Not in this case. This may not be the worst book I've ever »almost« read (half way through I skipped to the last chapter to see if it had a decent ending – it didn't) but it's way up near the top. Poorly written drivel about the author's »buddies« but very little about the smuggling business. No excitement, no French Connection, nothing but blah, blah, and more blah. This dolt makes the most aggregeous error any author can make. He wrote a book that is just plain DULL. Please don't waste your money on this one. Let it rest in peace. It deserves a decent burial, but that's all.

Lance says buy it!
Lance says: exciting – great customs scam – interesting characters – thought provoking [the horrors of prison life – would you loose your soul to kill someone?]- tells you what it was like to be young, wealthy and exploring the drug scene in a tropical paradise. I couldn't put it down! Hope you write more!
