I read 'The Fruit Palace' while I was working as a hospital cleaner a good few years back. I remember little about it apart from a growing sense of tension at the situation that the author gradually gets himself inextricably entwined with. Very entertaining but also horrible. In essence, yer man goes to Columbia to find out about cocaine smuggling, but becomes far, far too involved. with hilarious consequences
Might be time for a re-read. I really enjoyed it at the time.
