Snowblind: A Brief Career In The Cocaine Trade written by American author Robert Sabbag in 1976 is a non-fiction account about a man named Zachary Swan who turned his hand to smuggling cocaine from Colombia into the US. Set in the 1970s before organised crime took over the cocaine trade, it is based primarily in New York City and Bogotá and features a variety of colourful characters. Unlike other smugglers at the time Swan concocted a vast array of scams designed both to evade customs officials and protect his 'employees' from prosecution.[1][2][3]
