In October 2004, John Packwood took a flight to Spain with a friend. Lining up for Immigration on arrival, he was suddenly grabbed, handcuffed and pulled out of the queue by airport officials. Dragged through a nearby door, he was left in a cell. No one would tell him what he was supposed to have done. Assuming it was a misunderstanding and that he would soon be released, instead John found himself implicated in one of the biggest international drug busts in history.
Extradited! is the incredible and shocking true story of an innocent man imprisoned for delivering a boat into the hands of criminals. An extraordinary tale of horror and endurance and a gripping adventure. Full of injustice, determination and ultimately celebrity, it’s a must-read for lovers of suspense and true crime.
