What would you do if you were wrongly accused and convicted
of a murder and sent to a maximum security prison where
dozens of jail gangs preside? How would you survive and how
would you persevere in order to make those who framed you
pay? How would you exact revenge? That's the question and
premise of Green's most recent suspense novel, EXACT
REVENGE.
Raymond White, lawyer and would-be Republican congressional
candidate from New York, is moving fast up the career path.
Everything is coming up roses for Raymond. He has powerful
friends, a lovely girlfriend and a plan for the future,
until he's arrested at the Republican convention for the
murder of Celeste Oliver. In shock and numb, Raymond goes
through the trial confident he'll be acquitted and
wondering who actually killed Celeste. It isn't until much
later he discovers the question he should be asking is who
framed him for her murder.
Once in Auburn prison, Raymond does everything he can to
survive and spends the first 20 years of his life sentence
in solitary confinement convinced he's safer by himself
than with the other inmates. During the one-hour recreation
Raymond has, he meets Lester, an aging thief and part-time
murderer. Lester convinces Raymond that he can survive in
the regular inmate community if he's prepared to defend
himself and exact revenge at least tenfold for any
infraction against him. Raymond is transferred out of
solitary, becomes cellmates with Lester and together they
plot their escape from Auburn. After years of preparing for
the big escape, Raymond and Lester dig through sewer pipes
and end up successfully escaping the prison. However, in
their attempt, Lester is killed and, to all at the prison,
Raymond is presumed dead, as well. Using money that Lester
had stashed away, Raymond is able to change his appearance,
create a new life and begin to plan the revenge of those
who wronged him before prison.
EXACT REVENGE is a taut and suspenseful journey into the
inner sanctum of prison life, the backrooms of political
decision makers and the allure of power and corruption in
the mob. Raymond is shaped by the experiences he has with
each of the arenas of power and becomes a man driven to
personally exact pain on each person who contributed to his
imprisonment. Green is painstaking in his plot details, so
much so that you feel you are actually walking next to
Raymond as he exacts his revenge. In the end, you might
wonder if Raymond feels vindicated through his actions or
simply jaded with life in general. Take a chance and read
this novel to find out. It's well worth it.
A promising attorney and political candidate, Raymond White
