Mystery Amateur Sleuth
Arizona's Meza Azul penitentiary is the pride of the state's
newly privatized penal system -- a modern technological
wonder, unassailable and inescapable, built to hold the
worst of the worst. Yet, inconceivably, one prisoner has
managed to breach the foolproof security, set loose the
other inmates, and take control of the facility -- holding
more than one hundred guards and workers hostage. And one
hostage will die every six hours until Timothy Driver gets
what he wants: Frank Corso. A rogue journalist and confirmed lone wolf, Corso wrote a
bestselling book about the former U.S. Navy submarine
commander who was convicted of slaughtering his wife and her
lover in a jealous fury. Now, unwilling to be responsible
for the death of innocents, Corso allows himself to be
delivered into the bowels of Meza Azul -- and into the hands
of a crazed hero turned criminal. But Captain Driver wants more than the ear of a
once-sympathetic writer who will tell his final story tough
and truthfully. Accompanied by a cold-blooded hayseed murder
machine named "Cutter" Kehoe, and with Corso in tow, Driver
pulls off a brilliant and undetected escape, right under the
noses of armed government troops as they storm the captured
prison. Suddenly a helpless spectator along for the ride on
a maniacal cross-country killing spree -- with a tragic and
beautiful TV journalist doggedly pursuing the story, heading
inexorably into harm's way -- Corso finds himself in no
man's land. If he's lucky, Frank Corso may get one slim chance to escape
the clutches of a psychopathic duo determined to go out in a
blaze of blood and terror. But if he's not, his own story--
and too many others -- will end abruptly and brutally.
