Oto prawda o mrocznym sercu Bali Hotel K to szokująca opowieść o więzieniu i jego mieszkańcach, o dzikich nocach seksu organizowanych przez skorumpowanych strażników dla więźniów, którzy mają dość pieniędzy, by kupić sobie rozkosz, o szalejącej za murami narkomanii, ucieczkach, "wycieczkach" na plażę i morderstwach pozorowanych na samobójstwa. Pozwala zajrzeć za ponure mury, opisuje rolę więzienia w zaopatrywaniu dilerów i turystów w narkotyki, opowiada o gangu brutalnie rządzącym więzieniem i o korupcji, która sprawia, że wszystko tutaj można kupić: więzienny ślub we włoskim stylu albo celę o podwyższonym standardzie, wyposażoną w telewizor plazmowy i dobrej klasy sprzęt grający. Autorka rozmawiała z odsiadującymi wieloletnie wyroki i obserwowała stosunki panujące w tym upiornym miejscu, za murami którego rozciąga się turystyczny raj. Jej relacja jest porażająca.

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 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.

Seven years after first publication of her number-one bestelling memoir, Schapelle Corby remains in jail, and her book remains her only direct communication with the Australian public. It was meant to be a two-week break to a tropical paradise. But for Schapelle Corby it ended up a waking nightmare. She was arrested at Denpasar airport after 4.2 kilograms of marijuana were found in her bag. Schapelle had become the real-life victim of every traveller's darkest fear - drugs had been placed in her bag after she checked it in. Her trial and conviction became one of the biggest stories of the decade in Australia, and she has rarely left the headlines in the years since. In her searing and compelling book we hear her tell of being wrenched from a carefree holiday into a stinking police cell, of an alien legal system where her attempts to prove herself innocent were thwarted at every turn, and of learning to survive in the squalor, discomfort and violence of a third-world jail. Schapelle's story is like no other - a young woman experiencing the unimaginable, and enduring the unendurable with courage, strength and humour.
