Why would a man escape from prison the day before he's due to be released?

Audie Palmer has spent a decade in prison for an armed robbery in which four people died, including two of the gang. Seven million dollars has never been recovered and everybody believes that Audie knows where the money is. For 10 years he has been beaten, stabbed, throttled, and threatened almost daily by prison guards, inmates, and criminal gangs, who all want to answer this same question, but suddenly Audie vanishes, the day before he's due to be released. Everybody wants to find Audie, but he's not running. Instead he's trying to save a life...and not just his own.

A twist I didn't see coming

A great recommendation for those who enjoy a great "who-dunnit" read. Kept me interested right until the end

Gripping to the end

Better than expected, unique way of investigating a crime and of describing the details of earlier events, police and the justice system on trial. Great story of inmate humanity against the odds, Ardie and Moss were great characters.

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!

Michael Robtham is a genius. I am working my way through everything he's written. He doesn't disappoint !

Entertainment at it's best.

Admittedly. I was a bit disappointed to not find my usual favourites starring in this book but I soon forgot all about them as Michael Robothom once again wrote a thriller that kept me buys and kept me listening.

I listened to this book on audio and loved the production.
The story is intricate. At times almost slow but never really slow. A bit predictable but not completely. It is a lot of almost things before it turn a bit and becomes more.

In the end though the book did what I want from a book. Escape. Fun. Relax.

So if you are a fan. Do pick up a copy. If your not a fan...try this book. It will change your reading list forever.

A very well woven story

This was one of my favourite books of 2017. I really liked the way the story worked to complete the total picture, weaving memory, evidence and present day. I have never listened to John Chancer before, but he was excellent at performing different characters and genders, always with an ear to the urgency and pace of the story. I would reccomend this book.
