About This Item
London: Jonathan Cape, 1994. First UK edition, 1994. Signed "All the best, Tim Willocks" to the title page. Hardback. 348pp. Black cloth boards. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. In Green River State Penitentiary 2,800 convicts sweat it out under the glare of the panoptic machine, a vast labyrinth of granite, glass and steel where the ancient violence of men lurches unseen towards a cataclysm of astonishing ferocity. Dr Ray Klein has served three years' hard time working in the Aids-infested prison infirmary. On the day Klein wins his parole the disciplinary perfection of the panopticon is rent apart by the paroxysms of tribal war and for the first time in a hundred and four years the prison falls into the hands of its inmates. As the River sucks them all - psychopaths and lovers, dying and the insane - towards the abyss, Klein must choose: whether to claim his freedom or to risk all and fight...A dark, violent and compelling novel. Book in near fine condition and appears unread. Dust jacket near fine. Unclipped and with only a trace of edge wear.
