A Small Town by Thomas Perry

5.0

Excellent, one of the best books I’ve read this year. A prison has been located in a small town in Colorado. Originally intended to be a minimum security prison,it soon houses mostly violent criminals, due to overcrowding at other prisons.

Twelve of these inmates meticulously plot an escape, and soon the small town is overrun by over a thousand escapees. They steal what they want, rape and kill, but after most of the inmates are rounded up, the masterminds are still at large.

After two years neither the police nor the FBI have any leads, so a female police lieutenant, with the secret blessing of the town leaders, sets out to find and kill them in order to bring some closure to the townspeople and justice for the slain.

I loved the amount of detail in the book. Highly recommended.

I was given an I corrected advance frog from Mysterious Press and NetGalley in return for an honest review.
