Matt Willis

Travel writer Matt Willis has been lost in the Sahara, arrested in Iran, robbed by a Togolese witch doctor, and attacked by a pack of Russian street dogs, but such incidents never made the pages of his glossy guidebooks.

His debut thriller, Caipirinha, is an electrifying journey into the dark side of tourism.
