Now Sonny is the center of a vortex of corruption: prison staff, police, lawyers, a desperate priest-all of them focused on keeping him stoned and jailed. When Sonny discovers a shocking truth about his fathers suicide, he makes a brilliant escape and begins hunting down the people responsible for his and his fathers demise. But he's also being hunted, and by enemies too many to count. Two questions remain: who will get to him first, and what will he do when hes cornered?Don't miss Jo Nesbo's new thriller, Killing Moon, coming soon!
