THREE CAN KEEP A SECRET,IF TWO ARE DEAD

Really good read from the man who tracked and caught Howard Marks,he was a D.E.Agent from the States.I read this in Prison in about 93,one of the first books written about him,this is more about the D.E.A looking for him.Howard Marks was a genious when he was dealing "hashish&Weed" to the world.Cant believe he got a Not Guilty in the Old Bailey because when this was happening in the 80s, Mr Marks told the Police he was an Agent for MI5,when asked in court MI5 wouldnt admit to him being an Agent but also didnt say he wasnt,as it was the cold war and we were very particular about spying,the case was dropped and again he was gone on one of his dodgy passports.Very Very good book and better than Mr Nice,well thats what i think.You can get it at your local library or order it there and they will have it to you in a couple of weeks.Hope you like
