Description
Answering the phone early one morning, Dr Frank Ryan is pulled out of bed. A suicide. The fourth at Harmon jail in six months. As sole doctor to Ireland's most notorious prison, Ryan is on call 24 hours and must attend the scene. He's not out of his heavily barricaded apartment for seconds when he's attacked. Coming to, he finds himself in hospital - but where? All signs point to England. Why has he been taken there and who has bugged his hospital room? Confused, he spends his recovery time trying to solve the mystery, but then a man, whose voice is disturbingly familiar, comes to take him home-Finding himself back in Dublin, Ryan's nightmare spins out of control. He is debriefed by the Justice Department but doesn't understand the direction the questions are going. His flat has been turned over and put back in an overly tidy way. His girlfriend Lisa refuses to take his calls. Ryan believes the answer lies within Harmon jail - especially now the most dangerous wing - J block - houses a single inmate. No one has seen him, no one knows who he is or why he is behind bars. The only person who seems to know the answers is Cell boss king Dan Steel.
But can Ryan trust a murderer? Jail is a nail-biting excursion into the depths of the criminal underworld by a writer at the very top of his game.
