From Library Journal
This title also marks the debut of a highly skilled perfectionist whose ability to portray emotional tension and psychological disturbance should make this a popular choice. When Dr. Sylvia Strange recommends against parole for dangerous psychotic Luke Watson, she incurs the displeasure of his influential politician father and the fevered stalkings of his younger brother. Meanwhile, Sylvia's friend Rosie, an investigator at the New Mexico Penitentiary, hears rumors of another prison riot, fields incidents of missing body parts, and hunts for a mysterious prisoner feared by all the rest. Scary suspense, lethal action, and gruesome detail.
