First line
I strongly believe that investigative field research (Douglas 1976), with emphasis on direct personal observation, interaction, and experience, is the only way to acquire accurate knowledge about deviant behavior.
From the rear cover
This book is a vivid account of the world inhabited by 'wholesale""'illicit drug traffickers. Based on six years of participant observation, fieldwork, and extensive interviews in an elite Southern California community of dealers, the book gives a rare glimpse into the decadent yet fascinating ""'subculture of drug trafficking and unending partying, mixed with occasional cloak-and-dagger subterfuge.'
