When Tig Hague kissed goodbye to his girlfriend Lucy, he was already thinking of his return. The couple were going house-hunting, looking for their first home together. Tig was only going to be gone a few days on a routine business trip - the annual highlight of an otherwise unglamorous job working on the Russian desk of a London bank. But just hours later something went wrong at Moscow airport. Very wrong. Misunderstanding a request from customs for a backhander to speed his progress into the country, Tig was pulled to one side to have his bag searched. A deliberate inconvenience, he thought. But Tig's world was about to implode with dizzying, terrifying speed. A tiny lump of hashish, nothing more than detritus from a recent stag weekend, was discovered in the pocket of an old pair of jeans. Too small to warrant anything more than a slapped wrist back home, he hadn't even known it was there. Tig was in Moscow's notorious Piet Centrale jail by nightfall - and that was just a stepping stone on his way to prison camp Zone 22 in the bleak, remote wastes of Mordovia.

Having a Pattaya bookshop, I thought I may as well write a book, the book actually much more than something as flippant as that, triggered by something that happened 5 years ago here in Pattaya Thailand. As well as suffering life in a wheelchair for the past 6 years with a muscle wasting illness. Somewhat of a life story from a Country boy from Canterbury, Kent. Living my dream as a gamekeeper, then that years later falling apart and taking up voluntary work with the Samaritans, which led to running the listener scheme in Standford hill and Elmley prison on the isle of Sheppey. Things from there... well you couldn't make that sh*t up...also available on Amazon..
