Green River Rising

The only way to find the truth is to go through hell...

After three years' hard time, minding no-one's business but his own, Ray Klein wins his parole and chances his hand at a romance with prison psychiatrist Juliette Devlin. That same day, tribal war erupts and the prison - and its infirmary - falls into the hands of its inmates. Klein must choose either to claim his freedom and leave the ones he cares for to die, or risk everything and fight...

The best prison novel ever.
