From King of Karachi to Lockdown in the Costa Del Crime

Book excerpt: In November 1999, British doorman Chet Sandhu was arrested at gunpoint in Alicante Airport for masterminding the half-a-million dollar largest haul of black market steroids in Spanish history. Overnight he was thrown from the shadowy world of the Costa del Crime's underworld, to being openly vilified as a notorious public enemy in the British and Spanish press. For his crimes, Chet was incarcerated alongside murderers, rapists and terrorists in the top security wing of Europe's most infamous prison - Fontcalent. His story is not about how he was able to survive his ordeal involving knife fights, prison breaks, drug taking and high-stake power plays between prisoners - but how he came to thrive in the deadly concrete world he found himself in. If you want to know how one lone British man was able to dominate Europe's most dangerous prison, then read on. However, if you choose this to go down this road with Chet, be prepared by equal measure to be entertained, informed, and offended by his no-holds barred account of life in one of the world's worst places to be incarcerated.
