A Small Town by Thomas Perry

3.0

Weldonville, Colorado is a very small town. Most citizens are employed by the federal penitentiary outside the town, originally designed to hold white collar criminals. Over the course of a few years, some very bad men have plotted to get themselves transferred to Weldonville. Twelve men lead a prison break and the rampage that follows destroys the town. Two years later, Leah Hawkins takes a leave of absence from the Weldonville police. She is going on her own rampage, to find and destroy the 12 men who were responsible for the prison break. Quite an interesting plot device, my major complaint is that Leah's character is never fully developed. She lost a loved one that night, but it seems superficial (to me). Perry is always an engaging writer, but this was not one of his best.
