Beschreibung

Two weeks before a near-certain death sentence drug smuggler McMillan escapes from a high-security prison in Bangkok, never to be seen in Thailand again.

Über den Autor

Melburnian David McMillan's first arrest was for breaking into a Richmond match factory to enlarge his matchbox-label collection. At 12, putting crime aside, he then began presenting TV's 'Peters Junior News' for the Nine Network. Newsreading and the straight life didn't stick however and McMillan was thrown out of two of Melbourne's best schools before returning to crime and becoming one of Australia's most notorious smugglers, leading a group that developed the bag-swap system at Sydney's Kingsford-Smith airport. Following a State-Federal taskforce operation, massive police raids and one of Victoria's most expensive trials, which lasted six months, McMillan was sentenced to seventeen years in prison. While awaiting trial, McMillan again made the headlines after attempting to escape Melbourne's high-security Pentridge Prison by helicopter using former SAS personnel. Following release from prison on parole, surveillance immediately resumed leading McMillan to return to the life from which escape appeared impossible. Under false identities, he fled to Bangkok where he was promptly arrested and jailed. Following his dramatic escape from prison in Bangkok, the story of which is retold in this book, McMillan slipped to the Afghan border and again onto the smuggler's trail. In the years that followed, he avoided a life sentence in Pakistan and serious time in Colombia before a stretch in Scandinavia brought an end to his most dangerous life. In the late 90s, McMillan retired to London, where he now lives.
