An electric cattle prod was being used to torture me, sending waves of electricity into my body. I screamed out in pain . . . As I regained my vision I found myself staring down the barrel of a gun. Karl Williams was on a dream holiday in Dubai with two English friends when they were accused of drug dealing, arrested and tortured by police. They were innocent, but the authorities didn't care. Locked up in prison, they found themselves in a hellish world where men of all nationalities were crammed into stinking cells, violence could erupt in seconds, and control of the jail was in the hands of a few powerful inmates. Unless you knew the right people, you were screwed. Karl was a survivor, making friends with the local gangsters, Russian Mafia and assorted murderers, drug dealers, fraudsters and hapless innocents he encountered behind bars. But it was hard to stay positive when facing a life sentence or the death penalty . . . Raw, gripping and at times brutally funny, Killing Time takes you behind the shiny desert paradise to the heart of the real Dubai.
