Snowblind

Robert Sabbag

Howard Marks

When it was first published in the mid-seventies, SNOWBLIND established itself as an essential piece of true crime writing. The story of the legendary Zachary Swan, a mover in the cocaine trade in the sixties who set the standard for all who followed, Sabbag’s riveting account is a compulsive insight into an underworld populated by crazy characters and riven by paranoia. The result is an illuminating and wild book that influenced a generation of writers.

Reviews of Snowblind

'One of the first books about the cocaine trade and it is still among the best.' Norman Mailer
