Identity
One on ones used brutality to gain an unprecedented level of control over the inmates in Larsan State Prison. But with Emil Sorn gone, the tide has turned and the inmates have their sights set on running the prison their way.
Directly following the events in ‘One on one’, this book delves back into the past to discover where everything went wrong. The inmates are taking control of Larsan state prison back, and there are those who aren’t very happy about it, most of all, the warden. And now there’s a rumor of a new threat. An inmate known only as ‘The Boss’, who has his sights set on running the prison, and maybe more. A dark mirror of Emil Sorn, his tactics range from brutal to insidious. Will the warden be able to find and stop him before he loses control and many more get hurt? Or will the inmates turn the tide from control to anarchy?
Can a moral man live with an immoral decision? Or is he forever tainted? Warden Teph has asked himself that question many times.

Edge of seat thriller
A prison that seems out of control and someone is pulling the strings making it worse. The Boss runs Larson prison. Who is it? Amazing characters. Gritty nail-biting read. Could not put down until last page.

Definitely a Vicious, Nasty Story!
However, contrary to The Author’s initial blurbs, this 2nd of the “One on One” novels can NOT be intelligently read as a stand-alone story — and I highly recommend reading the original “One on One” book first — it will make this 2nd book’s contents make much more sense.
This is definitely a book about prison life, and the daily shit that can occur. Some of what was written seems very extreme; other parts seem rather tame.
This was not a ‘good’ story by any means, and the writing was fair-to-good. But, not, for instance, compelling. And some of the side stories seem pretty contrived and not well thought-through.

I had read "One on One" several years ago and was curious about this sequel. The author did a good job of continuing the story and hinting at the plot of the original. I found the book interesting, a bit disturbing at times and engaging. The ending was surprising as well as ambiguous in some ways. Is the author holding out for book 3? I don't know. There were, besides the main plot, some subplots about a couple of married relationships. I found those stories as compelling as the main one. One thing I do know is that I have great respect for corrections officers and the dangerous job they do.
