Title: The man who made it snow
Description: "This is the incredible, true story of the only American alive ever admitted to the inner circle of the Colombian cocaine cartel. From 1978 to 1985, Max Mermelstein was a pivotal figure in the American cocaine explosion, moving fifty-six tons of tropical snow into Florida and 300million dollars in cash back to Medellin, Colombia. 'The Man Who Made It Snow is Mermelstein's story--a tale every bit as violent and hair-raising as the movie 'Scarface'. In this vivid, spellbinding account, Mermelstein traces the inexorable path that led a son of a working-class Jewish family to meet and marry a beautiful Colombian girl and, in the process, become embroiled in the perilous world of cocaine manufacturing, smuggling, and distribution"--Dust jacket flap.
