Professional daredevil Mitch Jones (aka Captain Ruin) has spent a lifetime taking risks.
But nothing compares to the experience that shaped him most, after being locked up in a notorious Turkish prison for a crime he did not commit. Hot headed, impulsive and struggling to control his temper, Mitch expected prison to be something he had to survive. Instead, under the guidance of an older prisoner, it became the place where he began to grow up.
In this gripping and thoughtful memoir, Mitch writes with wit and poetry about masculinity, anger and the hard lessons of taking responsibility for your emotions. Filled with DIY tattoos, punk energy and an international cast of criminals and gangsters, No Horizon is an unlikely coming of age story about finding wisdom in the last place you would expect it.
A drunken weekend lands Mitch in a Turkish prison, accused of a crime he didn't commit. Inside, he struggles to control his temper. As time drags on, he must consider if the greatest threat to his well-being is how he handles his own emotions.
