Overview

With past experience as a drug runner, a madam, a money launderer, and a drug dealer—among other things—Andrea Mohr's résumé is an eye-opening read. All the while she lived a glamorous life filled with travel, movie stars, and easy money. But the dark side of drugs and addiction eventually saw her sentenced to seven years in jail for importing seven kilograms of narcotics to Australia. Andrea was sent to Deer Park, a violent, corrupt, mismanaged facility where there were more drugs inside than outside, and where her fellow inmates nicknamed her Pixie. In this no-holds-barred memoir, Andrea relives her involvement in drug smuggling that took her to exotic locations around the world and offers a rare insight into a criminal world few know. It’s a frank and shockingly truthful account of a life filled with dizzying highs and terrible consequences.
