Quatrième de couverture

'Green River Rising is a stunner ... Tim Willocks has crafted a superbly contained trip to hell that I urge you to sign on for.' - James Ellroy

After three years' hard time, minding no-one's busines but his own, Ray Klein wins his parole. That same day, the disciplinary perfection of Green River State Penitentiary is torn apart by tribal war, and the prison falls into the hands of its inmates.

As the River sucks them all towards the abyss, Klein must choose either to claim his freedom and leave the ones he cares for to die, or risk everything and fight...

'Brilliant... a phenomenal piece of fiction... Green River Rising is magnificent' Sunday Telegraph

'Savage, detailed, engrossing and guaranteed to leave a great lived bruise on the reader's sensibility... Green River Rising inserts an impressively brutal grip' Sunday Times

'Gritty... brilliant... a compelling story of gripping pace and brutality, a thriller in the true sense of the word.' GQ
