The exciting story of wrongful arrest and imprisonment for importing Bibles to an Islamic culture. 'After inserting the key to unlock the door, the jailer looked in, and then shoved all the men inside: Jaques, Matti, Veikko and me. He held back Francoise, grabbing her firmly by the arm. She shrieked and Jacques protested, letting out a shout. As he did so, the massive iron door swung shut with a loud metallic squeak of the hinges, followed by an almighty clank that seemed to make the whole building reverberate for several seconds. It was a sound that will haunt me for the rest of my life; a sound I will never forget.' This is the thrilling story of how Graham Hutt and his friends were arrested and imprisoned in Morocco. All because one of them possessed a small black bag containing something the police and a judge were to deem 'illegal in Morocco' - Bibles. The penalties totalled nearly half a million dollars, plus imprisonment; and all because of this 'minor indiscretion'. Read of the author's long fight to prove their innocence, regain his yacht and the freedom to visit the country he loves: Morocco. This is a fast-paced chronicle of the friends' adventures, with unique insights into the Arab culture.
