Publisher Description
A thrilling and gripping page-turner, that serves as both a sociological study of prison life and a metaphor for contemporary America.
In a prison of youthful hardcore criminals, a college professor convicted of killing a young girl while driving drunk teaches other inmates reading skills. A series of killings prompts officials to coerce Bauman to track down the killer. His quest takes readers into the web of corruption that is inherent in a big state prison.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A middle-aged professor convicted of hit-and-run homicide lands in a violent state prison and is coerced by officials to participate in an undercover murder investigation there. ``A compelling narrative, right down to its shocking, yet somehow inevitable denouement,'' PW said. ``In the end, however, the story becomes almost incidental to the novel's haunting, intimidating setting.''
