In June 2002, Peter Shaw, a banker from Wales, was brutally kidnapped by a Pseudo-military organisation in a busy suburb of Tbilisi, the capital city of Georgia, in eastern Europe. Hole is the harrowing account of his five month captivity and subsequent 'escape' in November 2002.
Peter's powerful and moving story focuses on how he managed to ensure the physical and mental torture inflicted upon him by his captors, particuarly during the 141 days when he was held in apalling conditions, chained by the neck in a tiny cell three meters underground, unlit, cold, wet and isolated.
His eventual reunion with his loved ones provides a moving climax to the story.
