WELCOME TO HELL. One Man's Fight For Life Inside the Bangkok Hilton

Softcover. The author's autobiography chronicles an innocent man's struggle to survive inside one of the world's most dangerous prisons. After being swindled out of a fortune, Colin Martin was let down by the hopelessly corrupt Thai police. Forced to rely upon his own resources, he tracked down the man who conned him and, drawn into a fight, accidentally stabbed and killed that man's bodyguard. Martin was arrested, denied a fair trial, convicted of murder and thrown into prison - where he remained for 8 years. Honest and often disturbing - but told with surprising humour - the book is the remarkable story of how the author was denied justice again and again. In his extraordinary account he describes the swindle, his arrest and vicious torture by police, the unfair trial, and the 8 years of brutality and squalor he was forced to endure. Illus. 231pp. softcover. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
