Opis

The tale is told by Cris, and ex public school boy, with inherited money, recently thrown out of the Army having had a spell in detention for selling MOD property. He meets Colleen, a prostitute, only in the game to improve her prospects by making quick money. She is of Irish/Colombian extraction with family still living in Colombia.
The two of them decide to visit Colombia and Colleen's family, where they are welcomed. While on an expedition in the jungle they are kidnapped by guerrillas and discover that the Colombian family are in the cocaine exporting business.
Looking for more adventure, they decide to try their hand at smuggling cocaine into England. The story unfolds as they plan and execute the operation through Portugal, Spain, France, and finally into england where it reaches a dramatic conclusion in the Devon countryside.
This is an amusingly written story, using the serious subject of drugs in a light hearted vein, it does contain some more adult passages, but is very light reading.
