Lamar Pye has escaped from Oklahoma State Penitentiary, accompanied by his idiot cousin and a vicious but cowardly artist. To have stayed in prison was certain death, but his chances on the outside are not much greater: his excesses know no bounds - one killing follows another. But one murder brings his nemesis upon him: Bud Pewtie of the Highway Patrol loses his partner in a blood-soaked shoot-out with Lamar, and from that moment on, nothing will stop him from getting even.

"Listening to audio book. Great for a long drive - or multiple long drives. Keeps you interested and it's also pretty amusing. "

— Michael, 10/18/2010" This is not usually the kind of book I like but it is a really good, trashy read. Exciting and funny. "
— Laura, 9/20/2010" Couldn't get into the story. I need to read the inside sleeve before I try to read any book. "
— Chris, 9/10/2010" Usually I love Stephen Hunter books. I did not love this book. I liked it. Lots of gratuitous language that in my opinion did not help the characters or the story. Just never really got into the story and it was really predictable. "
— Kevin, 8/10/2010" I really like this author, but this one did not have the good guy to root for, so it got 3 and 1/2 instead of 4. "
