Thrilling sequel to 'High Risk'. A bit less fast paced, but more in-depth look in to the characters. Less pace, but every page keeps you on the edge of your seat. Even in the more peaceful parts you wonder if hell could've broken lose one page ahead.. excited to read the third part.
Brilliant book. The second in a series. They are set in and around prison life from the perspective of a prison officer. It both brutal and captivating. Once you start, you can’t put it down.
