Carl Herbold enjoys being bad. After all, he is terrifyingly good at it. Stimulated by violence, he and his brother, Cecil, had easily graduated from juvenile delinquents to full-blown killers. And Carl, now serving a life sentence in an Arkansas penitentiary, carries out a daring escape with a fellow inmate and is on his way back to where he began - Blewer County Texas. Anna Corbett had been widowed right before her son was born. Beset by debt, deafness and personal tragedy, she faces the toughest challenge of her life - holding on to the ranch that is her son's birthright - unaware that she is at the center of Carl Herbold's vengeful plan... Along with Ezzy Hardge, a retired lawman, who is haunted by the one crime he sacrificed everything to solve but could not... And drifter Jack Sawyer, the seemingly easygoing cowboy whose past is shrouded in mystery. Carl Herbold's prison break draws them inexorably toward a day of reckoning: Ezzy, an over-the-hill peace officer seeking redemption; Jack, a man stalked by dark secrets he can no longer outrun; and Anna, a beautiful woman locked in silence and self-imposed isolation. All must grapple with their own demons before their tumultuous confrontation with a diabolical killer.

This one was pretty good. I liked the good characters and hated the bad and wondered how well the author did portraying the life of a deaf women. Not having any basis for comparison she seemed to do a realistic and sensitive job but how would I know? Much of the story was predictable, but that was okay, most of the ride was enjoyable!

Will try to find this one a good new home. Am sending to tiatia as a RABCK with relay book - mailed 6/18/05.

What a pleasant surprise. A RABCK just when I was muttering to myself that I was sending out book after book and spending too much time and money at the Post Office. Thank you SO VERY MUCH!

Riviting story of psycopaths gone amuck, but also of ordinary people who chose to assert their character weaknesses and only become strong in times of crisis. I read it straight through and caught a hint of the outcome but not all of it. Thanks for sharing.
