Far North

The true crime book uncovering the craziest and, at the time, largest (500kg) failed drug import into New Zealand. A story involving people tied up with the world's biggest drug cartel and Australian outlaw motorcycle gangs. A cast of characters with code names such as Marvel, Thugga and Gravel, who - cursed with terrible luck and comical decision making, and despite leaving a trail of destruction you could see from space - came breathtakingly close to succeeding. A story where the saying truth is stranger than fiction really does ring true.
