THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Hotel K - Bali's most notorious jail -
is Hell in Paradise. Welcome to Hotel Kerobokan, or Hotel K, Bali's
most notorious jail. Its walls touch paradise; sparkling oceans,
surf beaches and palm trees on one side, while on the other it's a
dark, bizarre and truly frightening underworld of sex, drugs,
violence and squalor. Hotel K's filthy and disease ridden cells
have been home to the infamous and the tragic: a Balinese King,
Gordon Ramsay's brother, Muslim terror bombers, beautiful women
tourists and surfers from across the globe. Petty thieves share
cells with killers, rapists, and gangsters. Hardened drug
traffickers sleep alongside unlucky tourists, who've seen their
holiday turn from paradise to hell over one ecstasy pill. Hotel K
is the shocking inside story of the jail and its inmates, revealing
the wild 'sex nights' organised by corrupt guards for the prisoners
who have cash to pay, the jail's ecstasy factory, the killings made
to look like suicides, the days out at the beach, the escapes and
the corruption that means anything is for sale - including a fully
catered Italian jail wedding, or a luxury cell upgrade with a Bose
sound system. The truth about the dark heart of Bali explodes off
the page.
Sex. Drugs. Danger. Death. FROM THE ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF BESTSELLERS
HOTEL KEROBOKAN AND SNOWING IN BALI This is the adrenaline-pumping
story of the world's most audacious drug runners and the police
hunt, 'Operation Playboy', to track them down. These drug-running
playboys travel the globe: they ski in Europe, surf in Bali, hook
up with celebrity models and live in five-star hotels. They are
24/7 party boys with brass balls, steely nerves and reckless
ambitions. They pay for their high-risk, hedonistic lifestyle by
trafficking cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana on international flights
and through the world's biggest airports. But to ride the wave you
have to roll the dice. And in this game a bust means prison - or
even a firing squad. A Brazilian cop is watching closely,
determined to close the net. With a small team, he battles corrupt
colleagues and bent judges to learn the secrets of the playboys and
bring about their downfall. Celebrated true-crime writer and
journalist Kathryn Bonella has travelled the world to collect
first-person testimony from an international network of mules and
their bosses, as well as from the elite cops who are hot on their
trail. The result is a page-turning, white-knuckle thriller - the
true story of a manhunt codenamed OPERATION PLAYBOY.
Kathryn Bonella lifts the lid on Bali's nightmarish narcotics
underworld. Among the island's drug dealers 'It's snowing in Bali'
is code that the south-east Asian paradise is full of cocaine. For
the men who run the country's drug empires, it's time to get rich
and party hard. Snowing in Bali is the story of the drug
trafficking and dealing scene that's made Bali one of the world's
most important destinations in the global distribution of
narcotics. Kathryn Bonella, bestselling author of Hotel K, has been
given extraordinary access into the lives of some of the biggest
players in Bali's drug world. She charts their rise to incredible
wealth and power, and their drug- fuelled lifestyles: filled with
orgies, outrageous extravagance and surfing. From the highs of
multi-million dollar deals to the desperate lows of death row in an
Indonesian high security jail, Snowing in Bali is a unique,
uncensored insight into a hidden world.
