Howard Marks once had forty-three aliases and eighty-nine phone lines. He owned twenty-five companies trading throughout the world. All were money-laundering vehicles serving his core business: dope dealing. Since his release from a US prison in 1995, Mr Nice’s autobiography has been one of the UK’s biggest-selling memoirs.
After almost 30 years with Strathclyde Police, Harry Morris, aka ‘Harry the Polis’, has seen it all. A highly successful writer and a hilarious stand up story-teller. Sometimes dark and sometimes tragic, but always very funny.
