Publisher's Synopsis
As each prisoner dies, the bell will ring...
After a drugs bust goes wrong, Deputy Sheriff Garrett West is left wounded, with a permanent limp and a career in tatters. In rehab, he falls in love with a kind nurse and soon they have a baby on the way.
Unfit for active police service, West is left with few options to support his new family. He gratefully accepts his father-in-law's offer of a job at a Florida penitentiary, on the grounds of an old Spanish mission. Its chapel, a working bell tower, is now an execution chamber. And West must attend the executions.
Working on Death Row comes with a few simple rules:
- Do not let the inmates get under your skin.
- Do not take justice into your own hands.
- Definitely do not help anyone escape...
West will break every one of them.
