The Lone Brit on 13: A Prisoner's Hell in Spain's Toughest Jail

US: Mainstream Publishing, 2005. Paperback. Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. 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 almost two years for drug-smuggling, Christopher Chance reveals the horrors he experienced among cut-throat villains 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 jail. As the sole British inmate, Chance was a prime target for the intimidating Spanish hardmen who thrived on cruelty and treachery. The Lone Brit on 13 is the genuine account of an adrenalin-addicted Englishman single-handedly defeating intimidation, racism, and potential drug addiction in the bleak surroundings of a Spanish jail.
