Zone 22

When Tig Hague Kissed Goodbye To His Fiancee, Lucy, He Was Already Thinking Of His Return. The Couple Were Going House-hunting, Looking For Their First Home Together. Tig Was Only Going To Be Gone A Few Days On A Routine Business Trip - The Annual Highlight Of An Otherwise Unglamorous Job Working On The Russian Desk Of A London Bank. But Just Hours Later Something Went Wrong At Moscow Airport. Very Wrong. Misunderstanding A Request From Customs For A Backhander To Speed His Progress Into The Country, Tig Was Pulled To One Side To Have His Bag Searched. No More Than A Deliberate Inconvenience, He Thought. But Tig's World Was About To Implode With Dizzying, Terrifying Speed. A Tiny Lump Of Hashish, Nothing More Than Detritus From A Recent Stag Weekend, Was Discovered In The Pocket Of An Old Pair Of Jeans. Too Small To Warrant Anything More Than A Slapped Wrist Back Home, He Hadn't Even Known It Was There. Tig Was In Moscow's Piat Centrale Jail By Nightfall - And That Was Just A Stepping Stone On His Way To A Prison Camp In Zone 22 Of The Bleak, Remote Wastes Of Mordova. He Wouldn't Be Returning Home For Years . . . Zone 22 Is The Shocking Story Of A Young Englishman's Struggle To Survive The Brutal, Corrupt, Almost Medieval Conditions Of A Prison Camp In Putin's Russia - A Gripping Contemporary Story In The Tradition Of Papillon And Midnight Express.
