An incredible true story - in 1964 my father, British Javelin champion John McSorley, built a man-size box and shipped it from Heathrow airport. The airfreight was human; his friend Reg Spiers, a penniless young Australian athlete desperate to get home and win back his girl. He was in for the ride of his life; a nightmarish cocktail of turbulent cargo holds, forklift truck disasters and mind-altering dehydration. He’d risk everything for Annie, but little did she know, they'd soon be skipping bail on drug-smuggling charges. Follow the true-crime exploits of the young couple and their years of gripping, high-stakes dramas through India, Africa and Sri Lanka.

When The Phone Rings
Spencer Moorcroft hadn't had the best couple of months. After the sudden death of his wife, he found himself reaching for the bottle more often than not, trying to erase the vacant void she had left behind. Every day felt like a struggle, and Spencer was certain he had hit rock bottom, convinced his life couldn't possibly get any worse. However, one particular evening, with a single phone call, he realised just how wrong he was, finding out to his horror that his daughter had been kidnapped. Now, Spencer finds himself walking a razor's edge-forced to obey the kidnapper's demands while secretly trying to unravel the mystery behind the abduction and the deeper conspiracy he's become embroiled in. The clock is ticking, and one wrong move could cost him his life. The question is, will he be able to rescue his daughter before the kidnapper decides that they have outlived their usefulness?Complete
Escape
I quickly grabbed my keys and left the apartment to head towards my car. It was already dark outside, but it wasn't cold, I didn't need a jacket. I got in my car, and put the key in the ignition, when I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a pair of brown eyes. My eyes went wide, but I couldn't even blink before he laced his fingers around my throat from behind. A scream wanted to leave my lips, but he put his other hand over my mouth to muffle it. His lips ghosted over my ear as he whispered: "I wouldn't do that if I were you, Lucy."
