摘要:

The long-awaited and hugely-entertaining sequel to Mr. Nice.

During the mid-1980s, Howard Marks had forty-three aliases, eighty-nine phone lines and companies trading throughout the world. At the height of his career he was smuggling consignments of up to fifty tons from Pakistan and Thailand to America and Canada. He was eventually busted and sentenced to twenty-five years in prison at Terre Haute Penitentiary, Indiana for marijuana smuggling. He was released in April 1995, after serving seven years. Señor Nice tells the story of what happened next.

After release from prison, Marks changed careers: he wrote two best-selling books, became a sports and travel writer, stood as a parliamentary candidate, and embarked on a long-running sell-out series of one-man shows. While performing in his home town of Kenfig Hill, Wales, an elderly aunt told him of his outlaw ancestry: William Owen, the legendary Welsh smuggler (who had operated for some time in South America) and his great-great-grandfather Patrick McCarty, the half-brother of Billy the Kid, who had joined Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in Patagonia. So, Marks decided to explore South America.

His travels took him to Jamaica and Panama in the footsteps of the Welsh buccaneer Henry Morgan; to a search for obscure Welsh settlers in Brazil whom he never found; and a search among the thriving Welsh community in Patagonia for signs of Billy the Kid’s half-brother.

Richly comic and charged with the sense of adventure that induced this Oxford graduate to become the world’s most notorious marijuana smuggler, Señor Nice is the hugely entertaining sequel to Mr. Nice.

期待已久且极具娱乐性的《好先生》续集。


20世纪80年代中期,霍华德-马克斯有43个化名,89条电话线,公司贸易遍布世界各地。在他职业生涯的巅峰时期,他从巴基斯坦和泰国向美国和加拿大走私了多达50吨的货物。他最终被抓获,并因走私大麻在印第安纳州的特雷霍特监狱被判处25年监禁。在服刑七年后,他于1995年4月获释。尼斯先生讲述了接下来发生的故事。


出狱后,马克斯改变了职业:他写了两本畅销书,成为一名体育和旅游作家,成为议会候选人,并开始了长期的单人表演系列的销售。在他的家乡威尔士肯菲克山表演时,一位年长的阿姨告诉他他的不法祖先。威廉-欧文是传说中的威尔士走私犯(曾在南美活动过一段时间),他的曾曾祖父帕特里克-麦卡蒂是比利小子的同父异母的兄弟,曾在巴塔哥尼亚加入布奇-卡西迪和圣丹斯小子。因此,马克斯决定探索南美。


他的旅行使他跟随威尔士海盗亨利-摩根的脚步前往牙买加和巴拿马;在巴西寻找不知名的威尔士定居者,但他一直没有找到;并在巴塔哥尼亚繁荣的威尔士社区中寻找比利小子同父异母兄弟的踪迹。


尼斯先生》是《尼斯先生》的续集,内容丰富,充满了冒险精神,促使这位牛津大学毕业生成为世界上最臭名昭著的大麻走私者。
