It’s a deadly stand-off…a bloody powder-keg ready to explode into a full-scale massacre. The cornered, desperate prisoners have one demand: they want private eye Peter Bragg to clear the ringleader’s teenage brother of a murder charge in a small, northern California town. It’s a high-stakes case with a brutal ticking clock, and it pits Bragg against cops, neo-Nazis and powerful enemies who would like to see him, the convicts, and the hostages all go down in a hail of flames and gunfire that would keep their secrets from ever being revealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Bragg is authentic, gripping, gritty…what Lynch sells is well-written escape…slam-bang mystery that’s fun to read” San Francisco Examiner\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This is a first-rate series,” 101 Knights: A Survey of American Detective Fiction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The books are damn good, featuring a hard but believable hero,” The Thrilling Detective\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(Originally published under the title \"San Quentin\")\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brash Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040526680304,"sku":"9781941298350","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781941298350_p0.jpg?v=1763756144","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781941298350","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
