Prison Break - Mark Dapin

Paperback 292 pages.

The true stories behind the myths of Gregory Roberts, John Killick and Australia's most wanted men.

On a Sunday afternoon in 1980, armed robber Gregory David Roberts abseiled down the front wall of a maximum-security prison in broad daylight. He spent a decade on the run in West Asia before writing his own legend in the bestselling semi-autobiograpghal novel, Shantaram.

In the late nineties, Melbourne-based drug dealer and gangster David McMillan became the only Australian ever to escape from the so-called 'Bangkok Hilton' in Thailand.

And in 1999, armed robber John Killick was airlifted out of a maximm-security prison by his beautiful Russian-born girlfriend - after she highjacked a helicopter with a machine gun.

With unprecedented access to ex-prisoners, prison officers and police, as well as Asio files and witnesses, Mark Dapin brings to life a hidden criminal world of prison brutality, courage and legend. Prison Break tells the real story behind Australia's most audacious prison escapes and proves that sometimes the truth is more compelling than the myth.
