No body was ever found and when Cat joins forces with one of Rhys' former colleagues, now a wealthy business man obsessed with all things Seerland-related, they begin to wonder whether the rumours that Face is still alive may be true.

Howard Marks is the most famous drug smuggler of his age, and a hero to a generation. On his release from one of America's toughest prisons, Howard made a promise to himself to go straight. No more drugs, no more smuggling. He would retire to a quiet life with his family in the Balearic Islands of Spain. It didn't quite work out that way.This was the mid-nineties, the height of the ecstasy and clubbing boom, and Ibiza was at the epicentre of the 'E generation'. Pills had taken the place of marijuana, Paul Oakenfold had replaced The Rolling Stones as the music of the masses, but some people are just born for life on the other side of the law.It wasn't long before Howard found himself trying pure ecstasy and rubbing shoulders with some of the king-pins of the pill trade. These included some of Britain's most notorious gangsters, who were laundering millions of pounds of gold stolen from the legendary Brink's-Mat bullion raid. As Britons descended on Ibiza ahead of one of the greatest summers of the nineties, Howard was preparing for his most outrageous operation yet. Incredibly funny, moving and scabrous, Howard Marks' Mr Smiley is a journey into the heartland of the clubbing and British crime scenes. It is also a fitting last word from one of Britain's best loved bad boys.

He was Britain's most wanted man. He spent seven years in America's toughest penitentiary. You'll like him. During the mid 1980s Howard Marks had forty three aliases, eighty nine phone lines and owned twenty five companies throughout the world. He was released in April 1995 after serving seven years of his sentence. This book tells his story.

Kas oled valmis sukelduma investeerimisfilosoofia sügavustesse ja leidma võtme edukamateks otsusteks? Howard Marks, Oaktree Capital Managementi kaasasutaja ja investeerimismaailma legend, on oma aastakümnete jooksul omandatud tarkuse ja kogemuse koondanud ühte teosesse. "Kõige tähtsam asi puust ja punaselt" toob sinu ette selle ajatu filosoofia, mis on varem olnud kättesaadav vaid VIP-klientidele ja finantsspetsialistidele.Mida väärtuslikku raamatust leiad:Investeerimise psühholoogia ja loogika - miks ei jõua keskmise mõtteviisiga kuigi kaugele?Riskijuhtimine - kuidas vältida suuri kaotusi ja säilitada kapitali?Kannatlikkus ja õiged võimalused - millal tasub tegutseda ja millal oodata?Realistlikud ootused - kuidas hinnata võimalikke tootlusi ja vältida illusioone?Raamat toob esile Marksi kontseptsiooni, mis on aidanud tal hinnata tururiske, mõista hinna ja kasumi suhet ja rakendada kannatlikku oportunismi. Teose tuumaks on teise tasandi mõtlemine - oskus näha sündmuste tagamaid ja hinnata, millal turu üldine arvamus eksib. Marksi õpetused kutsuvad investoreid üles olema teisitimõtlejad, säilitama rahulikku meelt ja järgima distsiplineeritud protsessi, mis aitab vältida üleväärtustamist ja liigset riski ning hoidma ootused realistlikuna - ära lase end eksitada liigsest optimismist või pettumusest, vaid säilita investeerimisotsuste tegemisel mõistlik lähenemine. Lisaks saad hea ülevaate sellistest olulistest kontseptsioonidest nagu hinna ja väärtuse suhe, kaitsev investeerimine ning riskide mõistmine.Oma panuse annavad panuse neli tunnustatud investeerijat ja õppejõudu: Christopher C. Davis (Davis Funds), Joel Greenblatt (Gotham Capital), Paul Johnson (Nicusa Investment Advisors) ja Seth A. Klarman (Baupost Group). Nende kommentaarid ja vastandlikud vaatenurgad annavad lisaväärtust ning aitavad teooriaid praktiliselt rakendada. Lisaks on raamatu eessõnaks toetanud majandusteadlane Bruce C. Greenwald, keda New York Times on nimetanud "guruks Wall Streeti gurudele".Raamat on mõeldud nii algajale investorile, kes soovib omandada kindlaid põhimõtteid ja vältida elementaarseid vigu, kui ka kogenud tegijale, kes otsib sügavamat strateegilist perspektiivi. Marksi toodud põhitõdede abil saad investeerimismaailma psühholoogiat ning riskijuhtimise nüansse põhjalikumalt tundma õppida, et finantsotsustes kriitilist mõtlemist rakendada.
