From Publishers Weekly British psychiatrist Willocks sets his thriller in the midst of a race riot in a Texas prison. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information， Inc. From Library Journal Willocks delivers an extraordinary second novel about an uprising at a state penitentiary in Texas. The story's well-developed characters include Dr. Ray Klein， a wrongly convicted orthopedic surgeon awaiting parole; Juliette Devlin， a forensic psychiatrist studying prisoners with AIDS; Frog Coley， a convict who has the gift of healing; Henry Abbott， a schizophrenic inmate; and John Campbell Hobbes， an insane warden. Hobbes plants the seeds for the uprising by manipulating existing racial and sexual tensions and then ordering a total lockdown of the cellblocks. Suspense mounts as riots flare and order becomes anarchy. Devlin is trapped with others in the besieged infirmary， while Klein battles to rescue them. Central to this gripping and often graphic plot is Klein: his struggles to survive prison， his fears of a life outside， and his developing love for Devlin. Highly recommended for adult fiction collections.Stacie Browne Chandler， Plymouth P.L.， Mass.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
