Richard Sullivan had a good life until he was convicted for
a crime he claims he did not commit. He has spent the last ten years on death
row and doesn’t know what is worse: the violent criminals that are around him,
or the sadistic warden and guards. Then his fellow inmates start dying off one
by one in horrible and sadistic fashion. Sullivan starts to wonder if he can
keep his sanity while trying to figure out how to escape from this hell.
Simeti has written a great little story here. There is a shocking
“reveal” toward the end that I did not expect. I won’t say what it was, but it
really caught me off guard. The art creates an atmosphere of dread, terror, and
isolation that Sullivan faces. The use
of black backgrounds and thick shading adds to this atmosphere very
successfully. If you like crime drama, I would highly recommend this book.
