Other Press, 368 pp., $14.95

Nowadays Brian O'Dea is on the up-and-up, gainfully employed as a film and TV producer in Toronto, but back in the '80s he operated a $100 million-a-year, 120-man trafficking business (the largest marijuana haul in U.S. history), and picked up a nasty cocaine habit along the way.

Sez our pals at Other Press, who on May 5 are releasing a snazzy paperback version of the already-out-in-Canada memoir:

O'Dea's story is replete with false-bottom suitcases, major wrong turns, and colorful characters who go by the names of 'The Syrian,' 'The Preacher,' 'Carrot' and 'Dick the Courier.' From England to Canada with 5 kilos of hash taped to his body, to a near-fatal 2,000-mile airplane journey from Moultrie, Georgia, to a certain small town in the Guajira Peninsula of Colombia, to an overdose that urged him to leave drugs behind forever, O'Dea leads us through his fast-paced narrative up until that fateful day in 1990, when the DEA showed up at his door with an arrest warrant."

In honor of 4/20, we're giving away a copy of High to the first Clog reader who can correctly answer the following trivia question:

In the hit Showtime series Weeds, what code name does Nancy give her DEA boyfriend, Peter?
