Description
You’re the pride of the police force. Your conviction rates are unbelievable. You’re so ruthless and unethical; some say you’re like a criminal yourself. And there’s no fate or consequence for you, just facts. But what happens when they both unexpectedly come calling one afternoon? One moment you’re a detective sergeant and the next, a convicted murderer. Then due to an administration ‘error’ you end up in the very same maximum-security prison you sent most of your scalps to. So what then? As soon as the news of your arrival at the prison spreads, the riot starts and they come looking for you. As the prisoners begin their rampage a fellow inmate, Connor hides you in his cell. Together you flee and hide from the gang in various parts of the prison as they frantically seek you out. But who is Connor and why is he protecting you exactly? The reason will soon become abundantly clear as your past life comes back to haunt you.

Thoroughly enjoyable farce. Set in a prison, a detective sergeant finds himself on the wrong side of the bars. A riot ensues as inmates come searching for his blood. A fellow inmate offers a helping hand to escape - but why? A game of cat and mouse with humour and the odd thrown punch. Recommended.
This book is brutal and seriously gritty, not for the fainthearted.
Set in a prison but with the story of the characters interwoven into how they're there is cleverly worked through this tale of fear and nail biting moments. The viewpoints of the characters are laid out and allow the reader to question motives and consequences. The motivations of the the three main characters are slowly leaked while the pace of the story comes back to the events of the prison incidents. It comes with some heart stoppers.
I liked the brutish front of Vince, the hard man. I questioned the motive of Connor, the seemingly ordinary man whose life unravels and the policeman turned criminal who finds himself in the worst place a police officer ever wants to be.
A good book if not a little wordy in parts but well worth a read
