Overview

The only Westerner ever to escape from Thailand's notorious Bangkok Hilton, drug smuggler David McMillan tells his story from the beginning in The Edge, the gripping prequel to the international bestseller Escape. A millionaire by twenty-one, McMillan smuggles two tonnes of marijuana from northern Thailand by Learjet, befriends drug-dealing pimps in fishbowl brothels in Bangkok, rigs cockfights in Manila with a disgraced British peer and transports liquid heroin in a glass statue. But success comes at a heavy cost. While this true survivor serves prison time in half a dozen countries on four continents, the true price of his exploits is paid by everyone he holds dear.
