Collaboratively written by Paul William Roberts and Norman Snider, Smokescreen: One Man Against The Underworld is the true story Carl Broeker, an ordinary businessman who was betrayed by his partner and forced to confront a deadly, blacklist world of organized crime and illicit trafficking. Drawn into undercover work with the Secret Service and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Broeker found himself caught up in a deadly thrill ride of lies, deceits, crime in this compelling biographical narrative of international crime lords, illegal smuggling operations, and political corruption. Smokescreen strips away the subterfuge and lays bare the heretofore murky underworld or organized crime on both sides of the Canadian/American border.

I read about 45 pages of this before I stopped. Reading this felt like I was in my freshman high school English class and one of my classmates was sharing their creative writing. If that were the case, Mr. Mullen would have tore this to shreds and made the student cry. Do not waste your time or money.

What a tale. Tight and beautifully told. Smokescreen is a real insight into the the world of criminal activity in Canada. Certainly one of the great books about smuggling. On a par with Howard Mark's Mr Nice.

i was totally caught off guard with the promptness of the delivery.The book was in perfect condition,couldnt be happier with this seller
