A Prayer Before Dawn: A Nightmare In Thailand

Arrested in Thailand after a relapse into drug use, the author found himself locked inside Klong Prem, one of the country's most notorious jails. This memoir follows his struggle to survive in a place where life seems to count for very little. Having left Britain to get away from addiction and drinking, he had hoped for a fresh start, but a taste of ya ba, a powerful form of methamphetamine, pulled him back into dealing and violence. Behind the prison walls, he faces daily danger, and the book also traces a path toward redemption in a setting few would expect.
