From the streets of Europe to the jungles of Amazonia, Douglas James Morrison has led a life of riotous and disturbing misadventure, often at the same time. No stranger to drug empires and funerals, journey with Dougie through his first brush with police in Scotland and into an odyssey of terrorist circles and South American prisons.
These tales, compiled by writer Dave Tellez, take you places you never imagined and have possibly never imagined imagining. A minor thread in a grimy patchwork of historical crimes that include the assassination of Roberto Calvi, fallout from Manuel Noriega’s dictatorship, the murder of anthropologist Ramon Manuel Puchol, and the world of cocaine kingpin Roberto Suarez Gomes, Dougie ventures to parts unmarked on the map and beyond.
Loved or reviled, hero or villain, Dougie is a historical oxymoron. Step into the shadows and discover what brought Tellez to Peru in search of one of the world’s most horribly perfect survival machines as Mr. Morrison guides readers down sweaty, crocodile-infested rivers and into commercial flights carrying loads of narcotics all while laughing down interactions with law enforcement worldwide. Dougie’s soirées with international delinquencies and unintended forays into wild cultures are an intravenous speedball of joie de vivre spiked with misconduct straight to the jugular. Highly addictive, one book is hardly enough.
