Life or death

by Michael Robotham

Audie Palmer has spent a decade in prison for an armed robbery in which four people died, including two of his gang. $5 million has never been recovered and everybody believes that Audie knows where the money is. For 10 years he has been beaten, stabbed, throttled and threatened almost daily by fellow inmates and prison guards, who all want to answer this same question, but suddenly Audie vanishes, the day before he's due to be released. Everybody wants to find Audie, but he's not running. Instead he's trying to save a life ... and not just his own.
