Green River Rising by Tim Willocks
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...
"Green River Rising is a stunner - and may be the best prison novel everThis is a book of dark alchemy: turbulent milieu, brilliantly etched characters, pure adrenaline-fuelled narrative - richly sustained and stylishly realised. Tim Willocks has crafted a superbly contained trip to hell that I urge you all to sign on for" -- James Ellroy "The best thriller since The Silence of the Lambs... Green River Rising is a brilliant entertainment...a powerful novel that will shock, and sell" Daily Telegraph "Gritty...brilliant...a compelling story of gripping pace and brutality, a thriller in the true sense of the word" GQ "This book should carry a warning: don't bother reading if you're afraid of being unable to put it down before the final page...a compelling, nightmarish canvas, marvellously painted ... Green River Rising has the sure touch of a real craftsman" Publishing News
