Publisher Description
Candice Fox has been described by the Sydney Morning Herald as 'one of Australia's finest new gen crime writers' and her latest novel is another thrilling ride, as a mass prison breakout lets loose 650 of the country's most dangerous prisoners.
'Are you listening, Warden?'
'What do you want?'
'I want you to let them out.'
'Which inmates are we talking about?'
'All of them.'
When 650 of the world's most violent human beings pour out from Pronghorn Correctional Facility into the Nevada Desert, the biggest manhunt in US history begins.
But for John Kradle this is his one chance to prove his innocence, twenty-six years after the murder of his wife and child.
He just needs to stay one step ahead of the teams of law enforcement officers he knows will be chasing the escapees down.
Death Row Supervisor turned fugitive-hunter Celine Osbourne is single-minded in her mission to catch Kradle. She has very personal reasons for hating him - and she knows exactly where he's heading . . .
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When family members of the staff at Pronghorn Correctional Facility are held hostage from afar, the prison is forced to release 650 inmates into the Nevada Desert. While The Chase kicks off with this compelling premise, the high-stakes thrills only escalate from there. The book follows John Kradle, wrongly jailed for murder. Pursued by prison supervisor Celine Osbourne, who harbours a personal grudge, Kradle must flee while clearing his name in the process. Australian author Candice Fox has mastered the fast-paced crime thriller, and brings uncommon empathy to the genre’s pulse-spiking rhythms.
