The Lone Brit on 13 is a gripping true story of violence, degradation and adventure penned in the confines of a grim Malaga prison cell. Imprisoned for drug-smuggling, the lone Brit on Wing 13, Chance, reveals the horrors he experienced among cut-throat villains and screws in the netherworld of the Spanish prison system.Chance takes to writing in his dank prison cell in an attempt to escape his surroundings and recalls various episodes in his life: his time serving as a soldier in Thailand and Malaysia; his involvement with the 3 Para snatch-squad in the 1970s Belfast; and his subsequent descent into drug dealing and trafficking, which culminated in a high-speed boat chase and his imprisonment in a top-security Spanish prison. While inside, Chance fought his way to the surface of a cesspool of iniquitous scumbags using his fists: the only effective means of being understood in an environment of desecrated morality and non-existent integrity. With predators lurking everywhere, Chance had to be constantly on guard and in order to survive he had to be mentally prepared to inflict the necessary violent retribution on any would-be attacker or racist thug. As the sole British inmate, Chance was a prime target for the intimidating Spanish hardmen who thrived on cruelty and treachery. But his martial arts skills and Samurai philosophy proved to be more than a match for the aggressors. Once a respected and successful businessman admired by his peers - he had operated his own martial arts business in Spain before being jailed - Chance took one wrong turn in life and lost everything except the love and support of his loyal wife.

Softcover / Paperback. Etat : Fine. No Jacket. Softcover. A gripping true story of violence, degradation and adventure penned in the confines of a grim Malaga prison cell. Convicted twice of drug-smuggling in 1999 and 2002, the author spent a total of over three and a half years in four Spanish prisons. In each one, he established himself as a force to be reckoned with amongst the screws and the inmates alike, meeting violence with even greater violence in order to survive. Writing became Chance's means of escape in the last of these prisons. In his dank cell and amidst the noise and chaos of the common room, he started recording the excitements and disasters of his life, both past and present. As a civilian, Chance's life had been packed with action and incident, including his time as a British soldier in Thailand and Northern Ireland, and as a professional martial-arts instructor in Spain, before he finally met his downfall as a drug-trafficker, sailing massive consignments of hashish from ports in Spain and Morocco. As an inmate, his life would be no less dramatic. The sole British prisoner on wing 13, Chance was a prime target for the intimidating Spanish hardmen and cut-throats who thrived on cruelty and treachery. But his martial-arts skills and Samnurai philosophy proved to be more than a match for the aggressors. He fought his way to the surface of a cesspool of iniquitous scumbags using his fists: the only effective means of being understood in an environment of desecrated morality and non-existent integrity. Once admired by his peers as the owner of a respected and successful martial-arts business, Chance had plenty of time to reflect on how one wrong turn in life had cost him everything except the love and support of his loyal wife. 238pp. 8vo. softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Review copy with loosely inserted slip. F. with no creasing to covers. N° de réf. du vendeur 14784
