Not your typical cocaine cowboy! Buccaneer is the stimulating true account of the life and times of Jack Reed, an All-American boy turned drug smuggler; turned Robinson Crusoe, then prison inmate. For the first time, Jack Reed discloses his extraordinary, tabooed journey as a high flying international cocaine smuggler and personal pilot for Carlos Lehder, partner to Pablo Escobar of the Medellin Cartel. Reed flew drug runs for Lehder who handled transportation, while Colombian drug lord Escobar handled production and supply. Lehder's cocaine transport empire was based at Norman's Cay, an out island in the Bahamas. Having gained notoriety in the late 70s as a staging point for drug smuggling, Norman's Cay was immortalized in Blow, a 2001 motion picture starring Johnny Depp. Reed lands in court as Lehder's co-defendant in the longest running drug trial in U.S. history. A non-violent offender, Reed becomes the victim of a tragic judicial sentencing mistake. Tired of being hounded by media, Reed denied all interviews until pilot/journalist MayCay Beeler contacted him in prison. At that time, she had no idea she would become his coauthor and a character in his infamous life story and twist of fate ending. "He refused to talk to cops and press- until me. In our book, which was a collaborative work at the end of Reed's life, Reed breaks his silence about his alleged role in Pablo Escobar's Medellin Drug Cartel, and his stunning punishment for refusing to snitch on best friend Lehder in the courtroom. This biography features shocking judicial misconduct; a historic drug trial; and the first drug lord extradited to the United States. Reed's controversial story will stun you. It has never been given to any other journalist."- MayCay Beeler Find out why Reed gave it up to Beeler in this gripping multi Award-Winning best-selling true crime book: "Buccaneer- The Provocative Odyssey of Jack Reed- Adventurer, Drug Smuggler and Pilot Extraordinaire"from publisher Strategic Media Books.

"Buccaneer" is a true story that does not blur fact with fiction.
