From the rear cover

During the late 1970s and early '80s, a golden age of marijuana trafficking, the country's most prominent kingpins were fun-loving Southern gentlemen who forsook college educations to sail drug-laden luxury sailboats across the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the Caribbean. Les Riley, Barry Foy, and their comrades eschewed violence as much as they loved pleasure, and it was greed, lust, and disaster at sea that ultimately caught up with them, along with the law. Based on years of research and interviews, Jackpot is a new classic tale from America's controversial Drug Wars.
