‘Qué es esto? Qué es esto? Es cocaína!’
I couldn’t speak a word of Spanish but I understood the word ‘cocaína’ and knew that I was in a lot of trouble. I should have been paralysed with fear but it didn’t seem real. I was only twenty-three.
In 1997, English holidaymaker Terry Daniels found herself unwittingly in the middle of a drug bust involving thousands of pounds’ worth of cocaine being smuggled from Brazil to Spain by her companion. After eventually being cleared of any charges she returned home shaken, assuming the nightmare was over – but her troubles had just begun…
Five years after her ordeal, Terry awoke one morning to the antiterrorist police breaking down her door. She was arrested and soon after found herself being extradited to Spain to be tried by abroad. In an inexplicably cruel twist of fate, Terry was sentenced to ten years in a maximum-security Spanish prison.
'Passport to Hell' is the hard-hitting account of Terry’s fight for justice, a page-turning memoir of an ordinary woman who survived and eventually triumphed over remarkable misfortune.
