About this ebook

The war on drugs has been lost but for want of the courage to face the fact that the whole world is rapidly becoming one vast criminal network. From pop stars and princes to crack whores and street kids. From the Groucho Club toilets to the poppy fields of Afghanistan, we are all partners in crime.

HIGH SOCIETY is a story or rather a collection of interconnected stories that takes the reader on a hilarious, heart breaking and terrifying journey through the kaleidoscope world that the law has created and from which the law offers no protection.

Ratings and reviews

This is literally my fave book ever and I now have it on my s3... As well as paperback! Love the way that u can visualise everything and hear the accents by his writing style... Also.... If he was to go into politics... I'd deffo vote... He's got the right ideas on how to fix the country

Brilliant, 'nail-on-the-head' novel. The plain truth satirically delivered! A very entertaining read. Highly recommended (pardon the pun! :-)

Excellent book. Written with such imagination and knowledge, Ben Elton is a truly excellent writer.
