Andrea Mohr was an international drug smuggler who travelled the world, living the high life. She mingled with celebrities, holidayed in exotic destinations and tried her hand at acting and modelling. But the merry-go-round stopped after she met Melbourne lawyer Andrew Fraser, who unwittingly led.to her arrest.
In Victoria's only maximum-security women's prison, Mohr was detained with murderers and thieves. For five years, she was forced to confront the daily rounds of violence and drug abuse, and learned the hard way how tough the women of the streets could be. She watched as prisoners fell prey to despair, madness and even death, and witnessed the return of those who made it out but couldn't stay clean. Amid the tragic, ruthless and forgotten, she resolved to turn her life around.
In Pixie, Mohr reveals for the first time the gripping true story behind her arrest and prosecution for international drug smuggling. She traces how a rebellious girl drifted into the seamy side, working in night clubs in Berlin, and how from there she entered the dark world of smuggling drugs from South America, Asia and Africa.
Frank, compelling and insightful, Pixie is a shocking personal account of a life on the edge, and how the criminal justice system has failed society.
