This is the story of family man and good British citizen John Lightfoot, who did undercover work for HM Customs and Excise among the drug barons in Spain. His life-threatening activities led to the destruction of narcotics with a street value of six million pounds. Betrayed by his former employees, he was left to rot in a French jail and is now in the UK in hiding for his life from contract killers. John Lightfoot, a combustion engineer, worked for the National Coal board and Petrofina before running his own security-system company and staff-recruitment agency. He was about to establish an import/export company in Spain when he met the drug dealer who was to change his life forever. The book tells of Lightfoot's battle for recognition by HM Customs and Excise, and highlights its often unconventional working practices. He took on the UK and French authorities in his fight for freedom against a probable 30-year prison sentence.
