The Dream Dealer

Howard Marks was an underworld myth: drugs trafficker, fugitive and Oxford graduate famous for his impersonations of Elvis Presley. For years, he eluded the law. His wealth and charm were legendary. He was untouchable: a middle-class outlaw. He came to obsess and repel Craig Lovato of the US Drug Enforcement Administration. Lovato determined to track him down. The key would be Lord Moynihan, an exiled peer who ran massage parlours in steamy Asian cities. He was persuaded to betray his old friend Howard Marks by recording their private conversations on a hidden tape recorder. This would be a manhunt like no other.
