"The last pill and testament from Britain's most famous and well-love drug smuggler

""Told with trademark wit and charm."" Press and Journal

""He is such a good writer ... Some of the descriptions in Mr Smiley of the Marbella coast, its seedy bars and empty millionaires' mansions, are almost worthy of Raymond Chandler."" The Sunday Times

Howard Marks has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But determined not to go quietly into the night, he has decided that it is time to release Mr Smiley, the story of his last and biggest ever drug scam at the height of the 90s ecstasy frenzy.

On his release from prison in 1995, Howard had made a promise that this time he was going to go straight... but it wasn't long before Howard found himself trying ecstasy and rubbing shoulders with some of the king-pins of the pill trade.

Incredibly funny, moving and scabrous, Mr Smiley is a free-standing follow up to Mr Nice, which follows a journey to the heartland of the clubbing scene and British crime."

Howard Marks is the bestselling author of Mr Nice, an autobiography about his life in the marijuana trade that ended with him receiving a 25 year prison sentence in America. Mr Nice went on to sell over a million copies in the English language, establishing Howard as a counter-cultural guru for generations of students, festival-goers and indeed anyone who ever decided to do things their own way.
