Very interesting cast of characters that you will either love or hate. Very well written, holds your attention and gives the reader a glimpse into a man who feels he needs to stand up for women that are victims of sexual harrasement. How he does this and the aftermath is what makes this book one you will not want to put down. Some point of view books do not work, they drag or too much insignificant information is given. Not in this book. I will look for more from this author for sure. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review.

Tom Kranz's imagery set the stage of prison life that made it feel all so real. Like actually being there. Behind bars. The main character was so well-developed that it left little question about his troubled inner thoughts and demons. Like him or not, I came to know him well. The storyline never wavered as it remained on track throughout the tale. This character-driven narrative was penned with an easy-to-read style of prose. It was enjoyable - beginning to end.

Borden "Bud" Remmick age 45, had been senior producer at Kaleidoscope News when his life had taken a dramatic downturn. He had been found guilty for the murder of his boss. As bad luck would have it, he was culpable for a mountain of books that had crashed down ending his former employer's life. Death by book. That might be a first. He hadn't planned to kill him. It had been ruled involuntary manslaughter and had been sentenced to spend the next four to six years of his life in Kings Pointe Correctional Institution.

Bud seemed to adjust right away to life in the joint: three square meals a day, access to TV, books, exercise and a place to sleep. What more could he ask for? Let me see - maybe freedom. The author suddenly threw in a shocking twist. From out of the clear blue, Bud had gotten shanked by his longtime cellmate. A makeshift shiv had been plunged deep into Bud's right side. As he lie bleeding profusely on the cell floor, Bud did not know what could have provoked such a deadly attack. Only months away from serving out his full sentence, he had hoped to make it home to his wife. Maybe a new beginning. A fresh start. Both time and blood were running out.
