Escape from Jamaica: A True Story of Crime, Faith and Redemption, (Paperback)

This is the true story of a naive hippie caught up in the Montreal-Jamaica drug scene of the 1970s. He seeks help from sketchy locals when a contract killer shows up to take him out. The Montreal underworld in the 70s and 80s was shared between the West End Gang, the Dubois brothers, the Italian mafia and biker gangs. This lucky Irish-Canadian kid miraculously survived to tell his story, while most of the people he knew are dead or locked up for life. The reader can enjoy a romp through the scary and life-altering experiences of the author (including time in a Jamaican prison) as he navigates the ' wild west' days of the drug trafficking scene between Montreal and Jamaica in the 1970s. One man's miracle of survival illuminates the history behind the drug and gang exploits we read about in the news today.
